Sing-Along Lyrics

Strikes A Bell

NW Folklife  Maritime Showcase, Saturday May 24th, 4:00 pm

Choruses and Responses

Sing what is in bold face!

Santiano

We're sailing down from Liverpool

Heave away, Santiano

Sailing down from Liverpool

Way out in Californ-i-o

chorus:

Heave her up and away we'll go

Heave away, Santiano

Heave her up and away we'll go

Way out in Californ-i-o

Hejo

Hey-oh-hey-oh, Hoo-rah, Hoo-rah!

Jolly Roving Tar

Come along, come along you bully brave boys

There's lots of grog in the jar

We'll plow the briny ocean

With the jolly roving tar

Down the River of Gambia

Oh Cali-ba

Oh Cali-ba

Cheer Up Me Lively Lads

Cheer up, me lively lads, In spite of stormy weather;

Cheer up, me lively lads, We’ll all get drunk together!

Shallow Brown

Shallow, o shallow brown

Dance Boatman Dance

Dance, boatman, dance, Dance, boatman, dance

Dance all night 'til the broad daylight

Go home with the gals in the mornin’

Hey ho, the boatman row

Sailin’ on the river of the O-hi-o

Hey ho, the boatman row

Sailin’ on the river of the O-hi-o

Sailboat Malarkey

It's the sailboat Malarkey

Strike the Bell

Strike the bell second mate, let us go below

Look ye well to wind’erd you can see it's going to blow

Looking at the glass you can see that it is fell

And we wish that you would hurry up and strike, strike the bell
