Heart Of Oak
Come, cheer up, my lads, 'tis to glory we steer,
To add something more to this wonderful year;
To honour we call you, not press you like slaves,
For who are so free as the sons of the waves?
Heart of Oak are our ships,
Heart of Oak are our men,
We always are ready: Steady, boys, Steady!
We'll fight and we'll conquer again and again.
We ne'er see our foes but we wish them to stay,
They never see us but they wish us away;
If they run, why we follow, and run them ashore,
For if they won't fight us, what can we do more?
Heart of Oak are our ships,
Heart of Oak are our men,
We always are ready: Steady, boys, Steady!
We'll fight and we'll conquer again and again.
They swear they'll invade us, these terrible foes
They frighten our woman, our children, and bows(?)
Should their flat bottoms, in darkness get oar(?)
Still Britons will find to receive them on shore
Heart of Oak are our ships,
Heart of Oak are our men,
We always are ready: Steady, boys, Steady!
We'll fight and we'll conquer again and again.
We'll still make em' fear, and we'll still em' them flee
And draw them on shore, as we've drudged them at sea
Then cheer up my lads, with one heart let us sing
Our soldiers, our sailors, are statesman and kings
Heart of Oak are our ships,
Heart of Oak are our men,
We always are ready: Steady, boys, Steady!
We'll fight and we'll conquer again and again.
To add something more to this wonderful year;
To honour we call you, not press you like slaves,
For who are so free as the sons of the waves?
Heart of Oak are our ships,
Heart of Oak are our men,
We always are ready: Steady, boys, Steady!
We'll fight and we'll conquer again and again.
We ne'er see our foes but we wish them to stay,
They never see us but they wish us away;
If they run, why we follow, and run them ashore,
For if they won't fight us, what can we do more?
Heart of Oak are our ships,
Heart of Oak are our men,
We always are ready: Steady, boys, Steady!

Our soldiers, our sailors, are statesman and kings
Heart of Oak are our ships,
Heart of Oak are our men,
We always are ready: Steady, boys, Steady!
We'll fight and we'll conquer again and again.
