rolling home to old new england - the revels chorus lyrics
[verse 1]
call all hands to man the capstan
see the cable running clear
heave away, and with a will, boys
to new england, we will steer
[chorus]
rolling home, rolling home
rolling home across the sea
rolling home to old new england
rolling home, dear land to thee
[verse 2]
’round cape h*rn one frosty morning
with our sails all full of snow
clear your sheets and sway your halyards
swing her out and let her go
[chorus]
rolling home, rolling home
rolling home across the sea
rolling home to old new england
rolling home, dear land to thee
[verse 3]
up aloft amid the riggin’
blows a wild and rushing gale
like a monsoon in the springtime
filling out each well*known sail
[chorus]
rolling home, rolling home
rolling home across the sea
rolling home to old new england
rolling home, dear land to thee
[verse 4]
and the waves we leave behind us
seem to murmur as they flow
“there’s a hearty welcome waiting
in the land to which you go,”
[chorus]
rolling home, rolling home
rolling home across the sea
rolling home to old new england
rolling home, dear land to thee
[verse 5]
and the girl you love so dearly
she’ll be constant, kind, and true
when you press her to your bosom
all your fondest vows renew
[chorus]
rolling home, rolling home
rolling home across the sea
rolling home to old new england
rolling home, dear land to thee
[verse 6]
but to australia’s lonely daughters
we have been the fondest yet
and we’ll ne’er forget the hours
that we gladly spent with you
[chorus]
rolling home, rolling home
rolling home across the sea
rolling home to old new england
rolling home, dear land to thee
[verse 7]
twice five thousand miles behind us
twice five thousand miles before
now we’re passing saint helena
heading for new england shore
[chorus]
rolling home, rolling home
rolling home across the sea
rolling home to old new england
rolling home, dear land to thee
[verse 8]
and we’ll sing in joyful chorus
through the watches of the night
we’ll spy the shores of old new england
when the dawn brings in the light
[chorus]
rolling home, rolling home
rolling home across the sea
rolling home to old new england
rolling home, dear land to thee
[chorus]
rolling home, rolling home
rolling home across the sea
rolling home to old new england
rolling home, dear land to thee
