Strike The Bell

sł. trad.
mel. trad. "Strike The Bell"

Aft on the poop deck and walking about
There's the second mate so steady and so stout.
What he is a-thinking of he doesn't know himself.
We wish that he would hurry up and strike, strike the bell.

    Strike the bell, second mate, let us go below.
    Look well to windward, you can see it's going to blow.
    Look at the glass, you can see that it has fell.
    We wish that you would hurry up and strike, strike the bell.
Down on the main deck and working at the pumps
There's the starboard watch all a-longing for their bunks.
Looking out to windward they see a great swell.
They're wishing that the second mate would strike, strike the bell.
    Strike the bell, second mate, let us go below ...
Aft on the wheel poor Anderson stands
Grasping at the wheel with his cold, mittened hands.
Looking at the compass, oh, the course is clear as hell
He's wishing that the second mate would strike, strike the bell.
    Strike the bell, second mate, let us go below ...
For'ard on the foc'sle head a keeping sharp lookout
Young Johnny's standing, ready for to shout:
"Lamps are burning bright, sir, and everything is well".
He's wishing that the second mate would strike, strike the bell.
    Strike the bell, second mate, let us go below ...
Aft on the quarterdeck the gallant captain stands
Looking out to windward with the spyglass in his hand.
What he's a-thinking of, we know very well,
He's thinking more of shortening sails than striking the bell.
    Strike the bell, second mate, let us go below ...
