[ Featuring The Stonemasons ]
Safe and sound at home again
Let the waters roll Jack
Safe and sound at home again
Let the waters roll Jack
Long we've tossed on the rolling main
Now we're safe ashore Jack
Don't forget your old shipmate
Fol de ol de ol de ol de righ oh
Since we sailed from Plymouth Sound
Four years gone or nigh Jack
Was there ever chummies now
Such as you and I Jack
Long we've tossed on the rolling main
Now we're safe ashore Jack
Don't forget your old shipmate
Fol de ol de ol de ol de righ oh
We have worked the selfsame gun
Quarterdeck division
Sponger I and loader you
Through the whole commission
Long we've tossed on the rolling main
Now we're safe ashore Jack
Don't forget your old shipmate
Fol de ol de ol de ol de righ oh
Oftentimes have we laid out
Toil nor danger fearing
Tugging out the flapping sail
To the weather earring
Long we've tossed on the rolling main
Now we're safe ashore Jack
Don't forget your old shipmate
Fol de ol de ol de ol de righ oh
When the middle watch was on
And the time went slow boy
Who could choose a rousing stave
Who like Jack or Joe boy?
Long we've tossed on the rolling main
Now we're safe ashore Jack
Don't forget your old shipmate
Fol de ol de ol de ol de righ oh
There she swings and empty hulk
Not a soul below now
Number seven starboard mess
Misses Jack and Joe now
Long we've tossed on the rolling main
Now we're safe ashore Jack
Don't forget your old shipmate
Fol de ol de ol de ol de righ oh
But the best of friends must part
Fair or foul the weather
Hand your flipper for a shake
Now a drink together
Long we've tossed on the rolling main
Now we're safe ashore Jack
Don't forget your old shipmate
Fol de ol de ol de ol de righ oh
