Have you ever sailed on a square-rigged ship

With a bone in her teeth?

Watched the wind as it played with the sails

As you flew on a broad reach?

Have you ever hauled a Manila line

As you brought a ship to wear?

Listen me boys to the crashing waves

And I will take you there

Well it's walk around to a capstan song

All shots are now on board

But leave the anchor ready to go as we head seaward

"Set the course," the captain cries

"As you reach thе river's mouth

We'll sail across in the strеam to the north

And return with the winds to the south."

To see the masts within your harbor

Takes you to a time not long ago

Suddenly the wind and you are sailing

With a hundred men around the Horn you'll go

All hands on deck as the line squall blows

And the ship she comes about

"Hard a lee" the captain screams

"Lest we get knocked right down

Lay aloft on the fore and main

And furl the royal sails"

As you climb you curse that it's always the worst

In the North Atlantic gales

To see the masts within your harbor

Takes you to a time not long ago

Suddenly the wind and you are sailing

With a hundred men around the Horn you'll go

Have you ever sailed on a square-rigged ship

With a bone in her teeth?

Watched the wind as it played with the sails

As you flew on a broad reach?

Have you ever hauled a Manila line

As you brought a ship to wear?

Listen me boys to the crashing waves

And I will take you there
