Rolling Home to England

All hands to man the capstan

See the cable its all clear

For tonight he sails for England

And for England we will steer

Rolling home rolling home

Rolling home across the sea

Rolling home for dear old England

Rolling home across the sea

And is here with a will boys

And the cable we will split

And across the southern ocean

We will sail that gallant ship

Rolling home rolling home

Rolling home across the sea

Rolling home for dear old England

Rolling home across the sea

To Australia's lovely daughters

We will bid a fond adieu

We will not forget the hours

We have spent along with you

Rolling home rolling home

Rolling home across the sea

Rolling home for dear old England

Rolling home across the sea

Round Cape Horn one wintery morning

Breaking through the ice and snow

You could hear the shellbacks singing

Take her home boys let her go

Rolling home rolling home

Rolling home across the sea

Rolling home for dear old England

Rolling home across the sea

Ten thousand miles now lie behind us

Ten thousand miles of sea and sky

To return with those we travel

And we will hear the seagulls cry

Rolling home rolling home

Rolling home across the sea

Rolling home for dear old England

Rolling home across the sea
