Come cheer up my lads tis to glory we steer

To add something more to this wonderful year

To honour we call you as freemen not slaves

For who are so free as the sons of the waves

Heart 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 them to stay

They never see us but they wish us away

If they run why we follow and run them ashore

And if they won't fight us what can we do more

Heart 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 still make them feel and we still make them flee

And drub them at shore as we drub them at sea

Then cheer up me lads with one heart let us sing

Oh soldiers and sailors our statesmen and king

Heart 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
