Rolling Home - Seemannschor Norddeich
Call all hands to man the capstan
See the cable run down clear
Heave away and with a will boys
For old England we will steer
And we'll sing in joyful chorus
In the watches of the night
And we'll sight the shores of England
When the grey dawn brings the light
Rolling home rolling home
Rolling home across the sea
Rolling home to dear old England
Rolling home dear land to thee
And ten thousand miles behind us
And a thousand miles before
Ancient ocean waves to waft us
To the well remembered shore
Cheer up Jack bright smiles await you
From the fairest of the fair
And her loving eyes will greet you
With kind welcomes everywhere
Rolling home rolling home
Rolling home across the sea
Rolling home to dear old England
Rolling home dear land to thee
Eastwards eastwards ever eastwards
To the rising of the sun
Round Cape Horn and the winter's morning
In ice and snow
You could hear
The shellas calling
As the way
And let her go
Rolling home rolling home
Rolling home across the sea
Rolling home to dear old England
Rolling home fair land to thee
