"But as for me, I"d sooner be A-roaring here at home About the rolling, roaring life Of them that sails the foam.
"For the homeward-bounder"s chorus, Which he roars across the foam, Is all about chucking a sailor"s life, And settling down at home.
"Home, home, home, That"s the song of them that roam, The song of the roaring, rolling sea Is all about rolling home."
