Shanty Lyrics:

Roll The Old Chariot Along

Oh, we’d be alright if the wind was in our sails

We’d be alright if the wind was in our sails

We’d be alright if the wind was in our sails

And we’ll all hang on behind…

And we’ll ro-o-oll the old chariot along!

We’ll ro-o-oll the old chariot along!

We’ll ro-o-oll the old chariot along!

And we’ll all hang on behind!

Oh, we’d be alright if we make it round The Horn

We’d be alright if we make it round The Horn

We’d be alright if we make it round The Horn

And we’ll all hang on behind…

And we’ll ro-o-oll the old chariot along!

We’ll ro-o-oll the old chariot along!

We’ll ro-o-oll the old chariot along!

And we’ll all hang on behind!

Well a nice wash below wouldn’t do us any harm

A nice wash below wouldn’t do us any harm

Oh, nice wash below wouldn’t do us any harm

And we’ll all hang on behind…

And we’ll ro-o-oll the old chariot along!

We’ll ro-o-oll the old chariot along!

We’ll ro-o-oll the old chariot along!

And we’ll all hang on behind!

Now, a drop of Nelson’s blood wouldn’t do us any harm

Oh, a drop of Nelson’s blood wouldn’t do us any harm

Woah, a drop of Nelson’s blood wouldn’t do us any harm

And we’ll all hang on behind…

And we’ll ro-o-oll the old chariot along!

We’ll ro-o-oll the old chariot along!

We’ll ro-o-oll the old chariot along!

And we’ll all hang on behind!

Well a night on the town wouldn’t do us any harm

A night on the town wouldn’t do us any harm

Oh, a night on the town wouldn’t do us any harm

And we’ll all hang on behind…

And we’ll ro-o-oll the old chariot along!

We’ll ro-o-oll the old chariot along!

We’ll ro-o-oll the old chariot along!

And we’ll all hang on behind.

And we’ll ro-o-oll the old chariot along!

We’ll ro-o-oll the old chariot along!

We’ll ro-o-oll the old chariot along!

And we’ll all hang on behind…

Haul Away the Bowline

Haul away the bowline, Kitty is my darling

Haul away the bowlin’, the bowlin’ haul!

Haul away the bowline, Kitty lives in Liverpool

Haul away the bowlin’, the bowlin’ haul!

Haul away the bowline, I woke up in the moor, boys

Haul away the bowlin’, the bowlin’ haul!

Haul away the bowline, she’s got the bulldog by the door,

Haul away the bowlin’, the bowlin’ haul!

Haul away the bowline, so early in the morning,

Haul away the bowlin’, the bowlin’ haul!

Haul away the bowline, the skipper he’s a growlin’

Haul away the bowlin’, the bowlin’ haul!

Haul away the bowline, the fore-topgallant bowline,

Haul away the bowlin’, the bowlin’ haul!

Haul away the bowline, we’ll either break or mend her

Haul away the bowlin’, the bowlin’ haul!

Haul away the bowline, we’ll haul away together,

Haul away the bowlin’, the bowlin’ haul!

Haul away the bowline, we’ll haul for better weather,

Haul away the bowlin’, the bowlin’ haul!

Blow the Man Down

Oh blow the man down bullies,

Blow the man down

To me way, hey, blow the man down

Blown the man down bullies,

blow him away Gimme some time to blow the man down

We went over the bar on the thirteenth of May

To me way, hey, blow the man down

The Galloper jumped and the gale came away,

Gimme some time to blow the man down

As I was a walkin’ down Paradise Street

To me way, hey, blow the man down

A saucy young mantle I happened to

meet Gimme some time to blow the man down

I says to her proudly a how do you do

To me way, hey, blow the man down

Says she none the better for seeing of you

Gimme some time to blow the man down

Oh sail as is tinkers and tailors as

men  To me way, hey, blow the man down

And we’re all in a scoundry to see you

again Gimme some time to blow the man down

So we’ll blow the man up And we’ll blow the man down

To me way, hey, blow the man down

And we’ll blow him away into Liverpool town

Gimme some time to blow the man down

Gimme some time to blow the man down Gimme time,

Gimme time, Gimme time Gimme time,

Gimme time, Gimme time To blow the man down
