Free and Easy
What can you see from the masthead?
Spanish ships a-fishing
What can you see from the masthead?
A Portugee from Newfoundland
Rising up on the breaking wave
Let it carry you over all the sea in the morning
Weigh, hey, and up she rises
Sun is up, the bird's a-wing
And we're sailing free and easy
What can you see from the masthead?
A trading ship from Galway
What does he pay for the passage?
A just reward for the pilot
Rising up on the breaking wave
Let it carry you over all the sea in the morning
Weigh, hey, and up she rises
Sun is up, the bird's a-wing
And we're sailing free and easy
We'll stay at sea when the wind is keen
And wave begin to billow
We'll keep at sea when the wind it fails
And homeward bound we'll row
Where shall we go for a cargo?
We'll run right down to Vigo
And if the Bay shall make a storm
We'll take a look in at Bordeaux
What spy you now from the masthead?
An Algerine on the quarter
What shall we do to greet him?
Acquaint him with our ordnance
Rising up on the breaking wave
Let it carry you over all the sea in the morning
Weigh, hey, and up she rises
Sun is up, the bird's a-wing
And we're sailing free and easy
Spanish ships a-fishing
What can you see from the masthead?
A Portugee from Newfoundland
Rising up on the breaking wave
Let it carry you over all the sea in the morning
Weigh, hey, and up she rises
Sun is up, the bird's a-wing
And we're sailing free and easy
What can you see from the masthead?
A trading ship from Galway
What does he pay for the passage?
A just reward for the pilot
Rising up on the breaking wave
Let it carry you over all the sea in the morning
Weigh, hey, and up she rises
Sun is up, the bird's a-wing
And we're sailing free and easy
We'll stay at sea when the wind is keen
And wave begin to billow
We'll keep at sea when the wind it fails
And homeward bound we'll row
Where shall we go for a cargo?
We'll run right down to Vigo
And if the Bay shall make a storm
We'll take a look in at Bordeaux
What spy you now from the masthead?
An Algerine on the quarter
What shall we do to greet him?
Acquaint him with our ordnance
Rising up on the breaking wave
Let it carry you over all the sea in the morning
Weigh, hey, and up she rises
Sun is up, the bird's a-wing
And we're sailing free and easy
