Farewell and adieu, to you Spanish ladies
Farewell and adieu, to you ladies of Spain
For we’ve received orders to sail for Old England
But we hope, in a short time, to see you again


We'll rant and we'll roar like true British sailors
We'll rant and we'll roar all on the salt seas
Until we strike soundings in the channel of Old England
From Ushant to Scilly, ‘tis thirty-five leagues


We hove our ship to, with the wind from Sou'west boys
We hove our ship to, deep soundings to take
‘Twas forty-five fathoms with a white sandy bottom 
So we squared our main yard and up channel did make 


We'll rant and we'll roar like true British sailors
We'll rant and we'll roar all on the salt seas
Until we strike soundings in the channel of Old England
From Ushant to Scilly, ‘tis thirty-five leagues


The first land we sighted was called the Dodman
Next Rame Head off Plymouth, Start, Portland and Wight
Then we sailed by Beachy, by Fairlight and Dover 
And then we bore up for the South Foreland light


We'll rant and we'll roar like true British sailors
We'll rant and we'll roar all on the salt seas
Until we strike soundings in the channel of Old England
From Ushant to Scilly, ‘tis thirty-five leagues


Then the signal was made for the Grand Fleet to anchor
And all in the Downs that night for to lie
Let go your shank-painters
Let go your cat stopper 
Haul up your clew garnets, let tacks and sheets fly


We'll rant and we'll roar like true British sailors
We'll rant and we'll roar all on the salt seas
Until we strike soundings in the channel of Old England
From Ushant to Scilly, ‘tis thirty-five leagues


Now let every man drink off his full bumper
And let every man drink off his full glass
We'll drink and be Jolly and drown melancholy
and here's to the health of each true-hearted lass


We'll rant and we'll roar like true British sailors
We'll rant and we'll roar all on the salt seas
Until we strike soundings in the channel of Old England
From Ushant to Scilly, ‘tis thirty- five leagues
