Rolling Sea

Don' t ya see the ships a- comin?

Don' t ya see them in full sail?

Don' t ya see the ships a- comin

With their prizes at their tail?

Oh, my little rolling sailor

Oh, my little rolling he

How I love my rolling sailor

When he' s on the rollin' sea

When he's on the rollin', rollin'

When he's on the rollin' sea

Sailors they get all the money

Soldiers they get none but brass

How I love my rolling sailor

Soldiers they can kiss my arse

Oh, my little rolling sailor

Oh, my little rolling he

How I love my rolling sailor

When he's on the rolling sea

When he's on the rollin', rollin'

When he's on the rollin', sea

How can I be blithe and merry

With my true love far from me?

All those pretty little sailors

They've been pressed and taken to sea

Oh, my little rolling sailor

Oh, my little rolling he

How I love my rolling sailor

When he's on the rolling sea

When he's on the rollin', rollin'

When he's on the rollin', sea

How I wish the press were over

And the wars were at an end

Then every sailor laddie

Would be happy with his friend

Oh, my little rolling sailor

Oh, my little rolling he

How I love my rolling sailor

When he's on the rolling sea

When he's on the rollin', rollin'

When he' s on the rollin', sea

When the wars they are all over

Peace and plenty come again

Everybody's sailor laddie

Will come sailing on the main

Oh, My little rolling sailor

Oh, my little rolling he

How I love my rolling sailor

When he's on the rolling sea

When he's on the rollin', rollin'

When he's on the rollin' sea

All the wars will soon be over

And the sailors, once come home

Every lass would get her lad

She won' t have to sleep alone

Oh my little rolling sailor

Oh, my little rolling he

How I love my rolling sailor

When he's on the rolling' sea

When he's on the rollin' rollin'

When he's on the rolling, sea
