Then no! yo-ho! for the boundless blue,
And no! yo-hoi for the harbor light,
Ii you're good to her she's good to you
For a woman's square IL you treat her

For the gales they blow us away from

Yet never I've met with sailor lad
, Who was true to his lassie day and
night
But he found her waiting, good and glad
