Come cheer up my lads,tis to glory we steer
To add something more to this wonderful year
To honour we call you as freeman not slaves
For who are so free as the son of the waves
Heart of Oak are our ships
Jolly Tars are our men
We always are ready
Steady, boys, steady
We'll fight and we'll conquer again and again
We ne'er see our foes but we wish them to stay
They never see us but they wish us away
If they run, why we follow, and run them ashore
For if they won't fight us, what can we do more
Heart of Oak are our ships
Jolly Tars are our men
We always are ready
Steady, boys, steady
We'll fight and we'll conquer again and again
We still make them fear and we make them flee
And drub them ashore as we drub them at sea
Then cheer up my lads with one heart let us sing
Ours soldiers and sailors, our statemen and king
Heart of Oak are our ships
Jolly Tars are our men
We always are ready
Steady, boys, steady
We'll fight and we'll conquer again and again
