come cheer up my lads 'tis to glory we steer
to add something more to this wonderful year
to honour we call you as freemen not slaves
for who are so free as the sons of the waves
heart of oak are our ships
jolly tars are our men
we always are ready steady boys steady
we'll fight and we'll conquer again and again
come cheer up my lads 'tis to glory we steer
to add something more to this wonderful year
to honour we call you as freemen not slaves
for who are so free as the sons of the waves
heart of oak are our ships
jolly tars are our men
we always are ready steady boys steady
we'll fight and we'll conquer again and again
we ne'er see our foes but we wish them to stay
they never see us but they wish us away
if they run why we follow and run them ashore
for if they won't fight us what can we do more
heart of oak are our ships
jolly tars are our men
we always are ready steady boys steady
we'll fight and we'll conquer again and again
they never see us but they wish us away
if they run why we follow and run them ashore
for if they won't fight us what can we do more
heart of oak are our ships
jolly tars are our men
we always are ready steady boys steady
we'll fight and we'll conquer again and again
they say they'll invade us these terrible foe
they frighten our women our children our beaus
but if should their flat-bottoms, in darkness set oar
still britons they'll find to receive them on shore
heart of oak are our ships
jolly tars are our men
we always are ready steady boys steady
we'll fight and we'll conquer again and again
they frighten our women our children our beaus
but if should their flat-bottoms, in darkness set oar
still britons they'll find to receive them on shore
heart of oak are our ships
jolly tars are our men
we always are ready steady boys steady
we'll fight and we'll conquer again and again
we still make them feel and we still make them flee
and drub them ashore as we drub them at sea
then cheer up me lads with one heart let us sing
our soldiers and sailors our statesmen and king
heart of oak are our ships
jolly tars are our men
we always are ready steady boys steady
we'll fight and we'll conquer again and again
heart of oak are our ships
jolly tars are our men
we always are ready steady boys steady
we'll fight and we'll conquer again and again
and drub them ashore as we drub them at sea
then cheer up me lads with one heart let us sing
our soldiers and sailors our statesmen and king
heart of oak are our ships
jolly tars are our men
we always are ready steady boys steady
we'll fight and we'll conquer again and again
heart of oak are our ships
jolly tars are our men
we always are ready steady boys steady
we'll fight and we'll conquer again and again
