Verse 1
C 
Pretty  (C major) Nancy of Yarmouth,
you're my joy and delight.
It's you that I dream of by day and by night.
I write for to tell you what we undergo,
All on the salt sea
where the stormy winds blow.
F 
C 
So  (F major) here's to the sailor (C major) s
G 
to battle  (G major) they go,
C 
where the  (C major) cannons loud they rattle,
and the stormy winds blow.
It happened one evening
just before it grew dark,
A captain came to us
and he showed us the mark
He showed us the mark, me boys,
like Zeus in the sky
Reef up your top sails,
there's a storm blowin' nigh
F 
C 
So here's  (F major) to the  (C major) sailors,
G 
to battle they  (G major) go
C 
Where the  (C major) cannons loudly rattle
And the stormy winds blow
It happened next morning,
just before break of day
Our captain came to us
and this he did say
Be all of brave heart, me boys,
be all of good cheer
For while we have sea -broom,
brave boys never fear.

So here's  (F major) to the  (C major) sailors,
G 
to battle they  (G major) go,

And the stormy winds blow.
And oh, my dearest you all,
how we were tossed about
Like an army of soldiers
going forth for to fight,
A soldier may fight with his
sword and his gun,
But a sailor must submit to his watery tune.
