At dreary midnight cheerless hour
Deserted even by Cynthys beams
Where tempest beats & torrents pour
And twinkling stars no longer glean
The worried seaman spend with toil
Klings firmly to the weather shroud
And still his anxious hours to guile
He sings as he views the gathering clouds
He sings as he views the gathering clo.

Larboard watch ahoy,
Larboard watch ahoy
How can speak the joy he feels
Whilst over the foam his vessel reals
His tired eyelids slumbering falls
He rouses at the well known
Call of Larboard watch ahoy
Lardboard watch ahoy Larboard
