Blow Boys Blow Lyrics
Blow boys blow and we'll all blow together
Blow boys blow and we'll roll away
In any kind of weather we're all in it together
Let’s blow boys blow Oh blow boys blow

Away me lads ye gallant crew
To distant shores we'll steer
She's loaded to the gunnels
With a whisky an good beer
It's farewell to Sally
It's farewell to Jane
We'll meet 'em on the dockside
When we lad up her again

Chorus 2
Oh! Sing boys sing and we'll all sing together
Sing boys sing and we'll roll away
In any kind of weather we're all in it together
Let’s sing boys sing Oh sing boys sing

We're bound for San Francisco
In ship and man we trust
We'll rock 'er and we'll roll 'er
All around the Horn or bust
And when we cast our anchor
In the waters of the bay
We'll dance to the fiddler on the deck
Until the end of day

Chorus 3
Oh! Drink boys drink and we'll all drink together
Drink boys drink and we'll roll away
In any kind of weather we're all in it together
Let’s drink boys drink Oh drink boys drink
