Oh I wish I was a cabin-boy aboard a man o’war
Hey! Sam’s gone away aboard a man o’war
Oh I wish I was a cabin-boy aboard a man o’war
Hey! Sam’s gone away aboard a man o’war
Pretty work brave boys pretty work I say
Sam’s gone away aboard a man o’war
Pretty work brave boys pretty work I say
Sam’s gone away aboard a man o’war
Oh, I wish I was a Bosun aboard a man o’war
Oh, I wish I was a Sawbones aboard a man o’war
Oh, I wish I was a Captain aboard a man o’war
But I’d rather be the Shantyman aboard a man o’war
