We set sail at half past four, 
G5              C5    D5
Looking for a new tomorrow 
G5                     C5      D5
Don't know when we're coming home 
      G5 (stop)
So we drink and we dance and we drown our sorrow


G5     E5   C5         D5
Whey, hey, hey laddy hey 
G5        E5            C5         D5     G5
Whey hey hey and we'll drink the night away

G5                           C5       D5
Now I don't know what there lies in store 
         G5                        C5       D5
But it's better than this, that's why I'm willing 
   G5                   C5       D5
To stake my claim on a foreign shore 
        G5 (stop)
With me spoons and me fiddle and half a shilling


G5     E5   C5         D5
Whey, hey, hey laddy hey 
G5        E5            C5         D5     G5
Whey hey hey and we'll drink the night away

        G5                    C5         D5
They've dreamt a place and I know it's true 
          G5                      C5      D5
Where the dolphins play and it's always sunny 
     G5                      C5     D5 
The girls are brown and the ocean blue 
       G5 (stop)
Less work to do but you make more money


G5     E5   C5         D5
Whey, hey, hey laddy hey 
G5        E5            C5         D5     G5
Whey hey hey and we'll drink the night away

  G5              C5         D5
I must be off by morinng's light, 
      G5                C5       D5
I can hear our bosun's whistle blowin 
G5                 C5        D5
One more kiss and one more fight 
    G5 (stop)
And one more song while the beer is flowing


G5     E5   C5         D5
Whey, hey, hey laddy hey 
G5        E5            C5         D5     G5
Whey hey hey and we'll drink the night away

When the sky is grey look out to sea 
         G5                      C5        D5
When the waves are high and the light is dying 
     G5                 C5        D5
Well raise a glass and think of me 

---- (Speed comes back) ----
         G5               C5       D5
