Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

twice):

We set sail at half past four,

Looking for a new tomorrow

Don't know when we're coming home

So we drink and we dance and we drown our sorrow

Whey, hey, hey laddy hey

Whey hey hey and we'll drink the night away

Now I don't know what there lies in store

But it's better than this, that's why I'm willing

To stake my claim on a foreign shore

With me spoons and me fiddle and half a shilling

Whey, hey, hey laddy hey

Whey hey hey and we'll drink the night away

They've dreamt a place and I know it's true

Where the dolphins play and it's always sunny

The girls are brown and the ocean blue

Less work to do but you make more money

Whey, hey, hey laddy hey

Whey hey hey and we'll drink the night away

I must be off by morinng's light,

I can hear our bosun's whistle blowin

One more kiss and one more fight

And one more song while the beer is flowing

Whey, hey, hey laddy hey

Whey hey hey and we'll drink the night away

Hey!

When the sky is grey look out to sea

When the waves are high and the light is dying

Well raise a glass and think of me

---- (Speed comes back) ----

When I'm home again boys I'll be buying

Whey, hey, hey laddy hey

Whey hey hey and we'll drink the night away

Whey, hey, hey laddy hey

Whey hey hey and we'll drink the night away

---- (instrumentals out) ----

Whey, hey, hey laddy hey

Whey hey hey and we'll drink the night away

Whey, hey, hey laddy hey

Whey hey hey and we'll drink the night away
