Lyrics:

Helmsman, leave your watch!
Helmsman, join us here!
Ho! Hey! Hey! Ha!
Hoist sail! Drop anchor!
Helmsman, come here!
Fearing neither wind nor rocky shore,
today we'll be right merry!
Each one has a sweetheart ashore,
capital tobacco and good brandy wine
Hussassa hey!
For crag and storm out there … Yollo hohe!
… we don't care a rap! Hussas,a hey!
Furl sail! Anchor fast!
At crag and storm we laugh!
Helmsman, leave your watch!
Helmsman, join us here!
Ho! Hey! Hey! Ha!
Helmsman, here, drink with us!
Ho! Hey! Hey! Ha!
Crag and storm, hey! we've done with them!
Hussa hey! Hallo hey!
Hussa hey! Helmsman, ho!
Here, come and drink with us!

Helmsman, leave your watch!
Helmsman, join us here!
Ho! Hey! Hey! Ha!
Hoist sail! Drop anchor!
Helmsman, come here!
Many a night we've watched in howling storms,
often drunk the sea's briny waters:
today, making merry, we watch
our girls give us a better drink from the barrel.
Hussassa hey!
For crag and storm out there …
Yollo ho hey!
… we don't care a rap! Hussas,a hey!
Hussassa hey!
Furl sail! Anchor fast!
At crag and storm we laugh!
Helmsman, leave your watch!
Helmsman, join us here!
Ho! Hey! Hey! Ha!
Helmsm on, here drink with us!
Ho! Hey! Hey! Ha!
Crag and storm, hey!
we ve done w'th them!
Hussa hey! Hallo hey!
Hussa hey! Helmsman, ho!
Here, come and drink with us!
