Lyrics by:Anne Hunter
Composed by:Franz Joseph Haydn
High on the giddy bending mast
The seaman furls the rending sail
And fearless of the rushing blast
He careless whistles to the gale
Rattling ropes and rolling seas
Hurlyburly hurlyburly
War nor death can him displease
Can him displease
Hurlyburly hurlyburly
Hurlyburly hurlyburly
War nor death can him displease
Can him displease
Can him displease
The hostile foe his vessel seeks
High bounding o'er the raging main
The roaring cannon loudly speaks
'Tis Britain's glory we maintain
'Tis Britain's glory we maintain
Rattling ropes and rolling seas
Hurlyburly hurlyburly
War nor death can him displease
Can him displease
Hurlyburly hurlyburly
Hurlyburly hurlyburly
War nor death can him displease
Can him displease
Can him displease
