Farewell and adieu to you fair Spanish ladies Farewell and adieu to you ladies of Spain Cause we've received orders to sail for old England And we hope in a short time to see you again We'll rant and we'll roar like true British sailors We'll rant and we'll roar across the salt seas Until we strike soundings in the Channel of Old England From Ushant to Scilly 'tis thirty-five leagues We hove our ship to, with the wind at southwest, boys We hove our ship to, deep soundings to take 'Twas forty-five fathoms with a fine sandy bottom So we squared our main yard and up Channel did make We'll rant and we'll roar like true British sailors We'll rant and we'll roar across the salt seas Until we strike soundings in the Channel of Old England From Ushant to Scilly 'tis thirty-five leagues The first land we sighted was called the Deadman Next Ram's Head off Plymouth, Start, Portland, and Wight We sailed by Beachy, by Fairlee and Dungness Then bore straight away for the South Foreland Light We'll rant and we'll roar like true British sailors We'll rant and we'll roar across the salt seas Until we strike soundings in the Channel of Old England From Ushant to Scilly 'tis thirty-five leagues Then the signal was made for the grand fleet to anchor And all in the Downs that night for to lie; Let go your shank painter, let go your cat stopper Haul up your clewgarnets, let tacks and sheets fly! We'll rant and we'll roar like true British sailors We'll rant and we'll roar across the salt seas Until we strike soundings in the Channel of Old England From Ushant to Scilly 'tis thirty-five leagues Let every man here drink up his full bumper Let every man here drink up his full glass We'll sing and be jolly and drown melancholy And here's to the health of my true-hearted lass We'll rant and we'll roar like true British sailors We'll rant and we'll roar across the salt seas Until we strike soundings in the Channel of Old England From Ushant to Scilly 'tis thirty-five leagues
