Spanish Ladies
Farewell and adieu to you, Spanish ladies,
Farewell and adieu to you, ladies of Spain;
Our captain's commanded we sail for New England
But we hope in a short time to see you again.
We'll rant and we'll roar, like New Bedford whalers,
We'll rant and we'll roar on deck and below
Until we sight
The New Bedford light
Then straight down the channel to anchor we'll go
Then we hove our ship to, with the wind at the sou'west,
Then we hove our ship to, for to strike soundings clear;
Then we filled our main topsail
And bore right away, my boys,
And right up the Channel our course we did steer.
We'll rant and we'll roar, like New Bedford whalers,
We'll rant and we'll roar on deck and below
Until we sight
The New Bedford light
Then straight down the channel to anchor we'll go
Now let every man toss off a full bumper
and let every man toss off a full glass
and we'll drink and be jolly and drown melancholy
Saying here's a good health to each true hearted lad
We'll rant and we'll roar, like New Bedford whalers,
We'll rant and we'll roar on deck and below
Until we sight
The New Bedford light
Then straight down the channel to anchor we'll go
Farewell and adieu to you, ladies of Spain;
Our captain's commanded we sail for New England
But we hope in a short time to see you again.
We'll rant and we'll roar, like New Bedford whalers,
We'll rant and we'll roar on deck and below
Until we sight
The New Bedford light
Then straight down the channel to anchor we'll go
Then we hove our ship to, with the wind at the sou'west,
Then we hove our ship to, for to strike soundings clear;
Then we filled our main topsail
And bore right away, my boys,
And right up the Channel our course we did steer.
We'll rant and we'll roar, like New Bedford whalers,
We'll rant and we'll roar on deck and below
Until we sight
The New Bedford light
Then straight down the channel to anchor we'll go
Now let every man toss off a full bumper
and let every man toss off a full glass
and we'll drink and be jolly and drown melancholy
Saying here's a good health to each true hearted lad
We'll rant and we'll roar, like New Bedford whalers,
We'll rant and we'll roar on deck and below
Until we sight
The New Bedford light
Then straight down the channel to anchor we'll go
