We set sail at half past four,
Looking for a new tomorrow
Don't know when we're coming home
G (stop)
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
|G |C |
|G |C |
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
G (stop)
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
|G |C |
|G |C |
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
G (stop)
Less work to do but you make more money
Whey, hey, hey laddy hey
Whey hey hey and we'll drink the night away
|G |C |
|G |C |
I must be off by morinng's light,
I can hear our bosun's whistle blowin
One more kiss and one more fight
G (stop)
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!

---- (slower) ----
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
