For the sake of you, my darling,
I'm bound away, my darling.
For the sake of you, my darling,
I'm bound away.
Far across away the sea, my darling, far across away the sea, my darling.
Bound to sail from Carolina, bound aboard an ocean liner.
Bound to sail the bitter ocean, no hope and all devotion.
So, dry your tears, have no more sorrow, for the packet sails tomorrow.

Roller Bowler - Lyrics
1. As I rolled out one morning, Huzzah! You Roller Bowler!
As I rolled out one morning, I met a lady fair.
Timme hi rigga jig and a haha! Good Morning Ladies!
Chorus:
Huzzah! You Roller Bowler!
Timme hi rigga jig and a haha! Good Morning Ladies!
2. I met her back in Liverpool, this saucy girl of mine.
3. The first time that I saw her, was down in Parkee Lane.
4. She winked and tipped her flipper, she thought I was a mate.
5. I asked her to come with me, down by the harbour docks.
6. But having spent my money, she left me standing there.
7. I squared my yards and sailed away, and to the pub I went.

Handy, me boys!
Chorus. Handy, me boys, so handy!
Why can't you be so handy, O!
Handy, me boys, so handy!
1. O, up aloft this yard must go, Handy, me boys, so handy!
O, up aloft from down below, Handy, me boys, so handy!
2. O, growl you may but go you must.
You growl too much, your head they'll bust.
Chorus. Handy, me boys, so handy!
We're all damn fond of brandy, O!
Handy, me boys, so handy!
3. Your advance is gone, you're at sea again.
Around Cape Horn through the hail and rain.
4. Two months' advance is blown away.
So you make your port and you take your pay.
5. O, rouse and shake her is the cry.
The bloody top-mast sheave is dry.
Chorus. Handy, me boys, so handy!
The old man is a dandy, O!
Handy, me boys, so handy!
6. Around Cape Horn we're bound to go.
Around Cape Stiff, through the ice and snow.
7. We're bound down south around Cape Horn.
You'll wish to hell you'd never been born.
8. O, a handy cook and a steward too.
They spoil the grub they give the crew.
Chorus. Handy, me boys, so handy!
Why can't you be so handy, O!
Handy, me boys, so handy!

Stand Your Ground - Lyrics
Blackbird sang unto the Crow, Away! Hey! Sally!
It's soon I'll be taking you in tow, Hilo Johnny, Stand Your Ground!
Chorus :
Sing, you Blackbird, sing your song!
Sing you Blackbird! Hilo Johnny, Stand Your Ground!
Blackbird sang unto the Crow,
You'll bring your whole crew down below.
Crow flew away to Mobile Town,
To see his true love, Sally Brown.
Sally's the girl that I adore,
She'll drink you skint then ask for more.
Blackbird sang the Crow said caw!
Got to set this sail by half past four.
Hoist her high, boys, high and dry.
We'll hoist her up then we'll drink our rye.
When there's no sun the hens don't lay,
And if we don't pull we'll get no pay.
One more the pull, the old crow cried,
We've got to hurry to catch the the tide.
