And it’s row me bully boys, we’re in a hurry boys,
We’ve got a long way to go
And we’ll sing and we’ll dance and bid farewell to France
And it’s row me bully boys row

I’ll sing you a song, it’s a song of the sea
Row me bully boys row
I’ll sing you a song if you’ll sing it with me
And it’s row me bully boys row

And it’s row me bully boys…

While the first mate is helping the captain aboard
Row me bully boys row
He looks like a peacock with pistols and sword
And it’s row me bully boys row

And it’s row me bully boys, we’re in a hurry boys,
We’ve got a long way to go
And we’ll sing and we’ll dance and bid farewell to France
And it’s row me bully boys row

The captain likes whiskey, the mate he likes rum
Row me bully boys row
We like em both but we can’t get us none
And it’s row me bully boys row

And it’s row me bully boys…

Well come now me lads it is time for to roam
Row me bully boys row
The old Blue Peter she’s calling us home
And it’s row me bully boys row

And it’s row me bully boys…
