Don't Forget Your Old Shipmate letra

Safe and sound at home again
Let the waters roar, Jack
Safe and sound at home again
Let the waters roar, Jack

Long we've tossed on the rolling main
Now we're safe ashore, Jack
Don't forget yer old shipmate
Faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye-doe

Since we sailed from Plymouth Sound
Four years gone, or nigh, Jack
Was there ever chummies
Now, such as you and I, Jack?

Long we've tossed on the rolling main
Now we're safe ashore, Jack
Don't forget yer old shipmate
Faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye-doe

We have worked the self-same gun
Quarterdeck division
Sponger I and loader you
Through the whole commission

Long we've tossed on the rolling main
Now we're safe ashore, Jack
Don't forget yer old shipmate
Faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye-doe

Oftentimes have we laid out
Toil nor danger fearing
Tugging out the flapping sail to the weather earring

Long we've tossed on the rolling main
Now we're safe ashore, Jack
Don't forget yer old shipmate
Faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye-doe

When the middle watch was on
And the time went slow, boy
Who could choose a rousing stave
Who like Jack or Joe, boy?

Long we've tossed on the rolling main
Now we're safe ashore, Jack
Don't forget yer old shipmate
Faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye-doe

There she swings, an empty hulk
Not a soul below now
Number seven starboard mess misses Jack and Joe now

Long we've tossed on the rolling main
Now we're safe ashore, Jack
Don't forget yer old shipmate
Faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye-doe!

But the best of friends must part
Fair or foul the weather
Hand yer flipper for a shake
Now a drink together

Long we've tossed on the rolling main
Now we're safe ashore, Jack
Don't forget yer old shipmate
Faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye-doe

Long we've tossed on the rolling main
Now we're safe ashore, Jack
Don't forget yer old shipmate
Faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye-doe
