man to meet,

  and as a brother kindly greet;

  then may heav'n with prosperous gales,

  fill my sailor's wee sails;

  to my arms their charge convey,

  my dear lad that's far away.

  on the seas and far away,

  on stormy seas and far away;

  to my arms their charge convey,

  my dear lad that's far away.
