You see we brave sailors so cheerful and gay
Since we've learned a new act to drive sorrows away
Sorrows away, sorrows away, sorrows away
Since we've learned a new act to drive sorrows away

Bright Phoebe awaits so high up in the sky
With her red rosy cheeks and her sparkling eye
Sparkling eye, sparkling eye, sparkling eye
With her red rosy cheeks and her sparkling eye

If you ask for my credit you will find I have none
With me bottle and friends ye will find me at home
Find me at home, find me at home, find me at home
With me bottle and friends ye will find me at home

Although I'm not rich and although I'm not poor
I'm as happy as those that's got thousands or more
Thousands or more, thousands or more, thousands or more
I'm as happy as those that's got thousands or more
