Hearts of Oak

 

 

 

 

Come cheer up my lads, tis to glory you steer

To add something new to this wonderful year

To honour we call you, not press you like slaves

For those who are free as the sons of the waves

Hearts of oak are our ships, jolly tars 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 then 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, we cannot do more

Hearts of oak are our ships, jolly tars are our men

We always are ready, steady boys steady

We'll fight and we'll conquer again and again

Still Britain shall triumph, her ships plough the sea

Her standard be justice, her watchword be free

Then cheer up my lads, with one heart let us sing

Our soldiers, our sailors,our statesmen, our King

Hearts of oak are our ships, jolly tars are our men

We always are ready, steady boys steady

We'll fight and we'll conquer again and again
