adieu sweet lovely nancy, ten thousand times adieu
i’m a goin’ around the ocean, love, to seek for something new
come change your ring with me dear girl, come change your ring with me
that it might be a token of true love while i am on the sea

and when i’m far across the sea you’ll know not where i am
kind letters i will write to you from every foreign land
the secrets of your mind, dear girl, are the best of my good will
so let my body be where it; might my heart will be with you still

there’s a heavy storm a-risin’, see how it gathers round
while we poor souls on the ocean wide are fightin’ for the crown
there’s nothin’ to protect us, love, or to keep us from the cold
on the ocean wide where we must bide like jolly seamen bold

there are tinkers, tailors and shoemakers lie snorin’ fast asleep
while we poor souls on the ocean wide are ploughin’ up the deep
our officers commanded us and them we must obey
expectin’ at every moment for to get cast away

but when the wars are all over there’ll be peace on every shore
we’ll return to our wives and our families and the girls that we adore
we’ll call for liquor merrily, and we’ll spend our money free
and when our money it is all gone…
we will boldly go to sea!
