Hymnal Index | Ship's Company Website

I wish I was a cabin boy, aboard a man o'war!
Sam's gone away, aboard a man o'war!
Pretty work, brave boys,Pretty work, I say!
Sam's gone away, aboard a man o'war!
I wish I was the captain, aboard a man o'war!

I wish I was the bos'n, aboard a man o'war!

I wish I was a gunner, aboard a man o'war!

You'll never be a hero, aboard a man o'war!

Etc. etc. etc...
