[Verse 1]
Up aloft amid the rigging
Swiftly blows the favoring gale
Strong as springtime in its blossom
Filling out each bending sail

[Chorus]
Rolling home, Rolling home
Rolling home across the sea
Rolling home to dear old England
Rolling home, dear land to thee

[Verse 2]
And the waves we leave behind us
Seem to murmur as they rise
We have tarried here to bear you
To the land you dearly prize

[Chorus]
Rolling home, Rolling home
Rolling home across the sea
Rolling hom, to dear old England
Rolling home, dear land to thee

[Verse 3]
It takes all hands to man the capstan
Mistеr see your cables clear
You'll be sailing homеward bound sir
For the Channel you will steer

[Chorus]
Rolling home, Rolling home
Rolling home across the sea
Rolling home to dear old England
Rolling home, dear land to thee

[Verse 4]
See your sheets and crew lines free sir
All your buntlines overhaul
Are your sheer poles and gear ready
Soon for England we will steer
[Chorus]
Rolling home, Rolling home
Rolling home across the sea
Rolling home to dear old England
Rolling home, dear land to thee

[Verse 5]
Full ten thousand miles behind us
And a thousand miles before
Ancient ocean waves to waft us
To the well remembered shore

[Chorus]
Rolling home, Rolling home
Rolling home across the sea
Rolling home to dear old England
Rolling home, dear land to thee

[Verse 6]
Newborn breezes swell to send us
To our childhood welcome skies
To the glow of friendly faces
And the glance of loving eyes

[Chorus]
Rolling home, Rolling home
Rolling home across the sea
Rolling home to dear old England
Rolling home, dear land to thee
Rolling home, Rolling home
Rolling home across the sea
Rolling home to dear old England
Rolling home, dear land to thee
