SS Bombo

Blue metal bound for Sydney Town

Cast away, feed the flame

The night is long and the winds are strong

Hove to, bring her in

Let’s have a song and a good ol’ time

Cast away, feed the flame

Now we’ve got the dog and fourteen men

Hove to, bring her in

Cast away, feed the flame

Bombo’s sailing again

Seas are high lads, cancel gang

Hove to, bring her in

Now the metal moved and she leaned to port

Cast away, feed the flame

We’re taking water and it don’t look good

Hove to, bring her in

She’s gonna flip, abandon ship!

Cast away, feed the flame

Now we’ve got the dog and we’ve got ten men

Hove to, bring her in

Cast away, feed the flame

Bombo’s sailing again

Seas are high lads, cancel gang

Hove to, bring her in

All together lads, Stringer’s gone for help

Cast away, feed the flame

The night is long and the seas are cold

Hove to, bring her in

After the dark, the dawn arrives

Cast away, feed the flame

Now we’ve got the dog and we’ve got six men

Hove to, bring her in

Cast away, feed the flame

Bombo’s sailing again

Seas are high lads, cancel gang

Hove to, bring her in

Let’s make for shore, while we can

Cast away, feed the flame

Keep it up lads, nine miles to swim 

Hove to, bring her in

I see the beach, not far now

Cast away, feed the flame

Now we’ve got the dog and we’ve got two men

Hove to, bring her in

Cast away, feed the flame

Bombo’s sailing again

Seas are high lads, cancel gang

Hove to, bring her in
