Farewell and adieu, to you Spanish ladies
Farewell and adieu, to you ladies of Spain
For we’ve received orders to sail for Old England
But we hope, in a short time, to see you again
We'll rant and we'll roar like true British sailors
We'll rant and we'll roar all on the salt seas
Until we strike soundings in the channel of Old England
From Ushant to Scilly, ‘tis thirty-five leagues
We hove our ship to, with the wind from Sou'west boys
We hove our ship to, deep soundings to take
‘Twas forty-five fathoms with a white sandy bottom
So we squared our main yard and up channel did make
We'll rant and we'll roar like true British sailors
We'll rant and we'll roar all on the salt seas
Until we strike soundings in the channel of Old England
From Ushant to Scilly, ‘tis thirty-five leagues
The first land we sighted was called the Dodman
Next Rame Head off Plymouth, Start, Portland and Wight
Then we sailed by Beachy, by Fairlight and Dover
And then we bore up for the South Foreland light
We'll rant and we'll roar like true British sailors
We'll rant and we'll roar all on the salt seas
Until we strike soundings in the channel of Old England
From Ushant to Scilly, ‘tis thirty-five leagues
Then the signal was made for the Grand Fleet to anchor
And all in the Downs that night for to lie
Let go your shank-painters
Let go your cat stopper
Haul up your clew garnets, let tacks and sheets fly
We'll rant and we'll roar like true British sailors
We'll rant and we'll roar all on the salt seas
Until we strike soundings in the channel of Old England
From Ushant to Scilly, ‘tis thirty-five leagues
Now let every man drink off his full bumper
And let every man drink off his full glass
We'll drink and be Jolly and drown melancholy
and here's to the health of each true-hearted lass
We'll rant and we'll roar like true British sailors
We'll rant and we'll roar all on the salt seas
Until we strike soundings in the channel of Old England
From Ushant to Scilly, ‘tis thirty- five leagues

Farewell to Prince's Landing Stage
River Mersey, fare thee well
I am bound for California
It's a place that I know right well
So fare thee well, my own true love
And when I return united we will be
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
But my darling when I think of thee
I have signed on a Yankee Clipper ship
Davy Crockett is her name
And Burgess is the Captain of her
And they say that she's a floating shame
So fare thee well, my own true love
And when I return united we will be
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
But my darling when I think of thee
I have sailed with Burgess once before
He's a man that I know right well
If a man is a sailor, he can get along
And if nothin' he is sure in Hell
So fare thee well, my own true love
And when I return united we will be
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
But my darling when I think of thee
Now the sun is on the harbour, love
And I wish I could remain
For I know it will be a long, long time
Before I see you again
Here we go!
So fare thee well, my own true love
And when I return united we will be
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
But my darling when I think of thee
So fare thee well, my own true love
And when I return united we will be
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
But my darling when I think of thee
