Up aloft amid the rigging
Swiftly blows a favoring gale
Strong as springtime in its blossom,
Filling out each swelling sail
Rolling home, rolling home,
Rolling home across the sea;
Rolling home to dear old England
Rolling home, dear land to thee!
Full ten thousand miles behind us,
And a thousand miles before,
Ancient ocean waves to waft us
To the well-remembered shore.
Rolling home, rolling home,
Rolling home across the sea;
Rolling home to dear old England
Rolling home, dear land to thee!
Call all hands to man the capstan
See the cable run down clear
Heave away and with a will boys
For old England we will steer
Rolling home, rolling home,
Rolling home across the sea;
Rolling home to dear old England
Rolling home, dear land to thee!
