Ok, Let’s put the three verses together with the chorus:
| Boys, be happy, Going over the oceans, Leaving our country, Without hope of doing well there, Boys, be happy, Going over the ocean Hearty, loving boys, Hoist the sails, A group of my dear folk, Are setting sail on Friday Boys, be happy, Going over the oceans, Leaving our country, Without hope of doing well there, Boys, be happy, Going over the ocean I am homesick, Leaving the Crinan, Going to the wooded country, To make a living Boys, be happy, Going over the oceans, Leaving our country, Without hope of doing well there, Boys, be happy, Going over the ocean I am in despair, Travelling over the oceans, A black ship is moving, Sailing in sadness Boys, be happy, Going over the oceans, Leaving our country, Without hope of doing well there, Boys, be happy, Going over the ocean |
