Don't Forget Your Old Shipmates

Safe and sound at home again,
 Let the waters roar, Jack!
 Safe and sound at home again,
 Let the waters roar, Jack!
 Long we tossed on the rolling main,
 Now we're safe ashore, Jack
 Don't forget your old shipmates!
 Since we sailed from Plymoth Sound,
 Four years gone or nigh, Jack.
 Was there any chummies now,
 Like you and I, Jack.
 Long we tossed on the rolling main,
 Now we're safe ashore, Jack
 Don't forget your old shipmates!
 We who worked the soft-same gun,
 Quarter-deck division,
 Sponger I, and loader you,
 Through the whole commision.
 Long we tossed on the rolling main,
 Now we're safe ashore, Jack
 Don't forget your old shipmates!
 When the middle watch was on,
 And the time went snow, boy.
 Who could choose a rousing stay,
 Who like Jack or Joe, boy.
 Long we tossed on the rolling main,
 Now we're safe ashore, Jack
 Don't forget your old shipmates!
 There she swings an empty hog!
 Not to soth thee long, now.
 Number seven, starboard mast,
 Misses Jack and Joe, now.
 Long we tossed on the rolling main,
 Now we're safe ashore, Jack
 Don't forget your old shipmates!
 But, the best of friends must part,
 There a foul awaren
 And yer flepper for a shank,
 Now a drink togtether.
 Long we tossed on the rolling main,
 Now we're safe ashore, Jack
 Don't forget your old shipmates!
