(Chorus)
To me way-hay the Asgard rolls
Around the point and past the shoals
With her ladies and her gentlemen
She'll soon come sailing home again
Oh mother don't you worry so
I'm bound to the Quay, you see me go
I've a bucket of brandy 'neath my bed
And a pile of sheets above me head
(Chorus)
Oh mother don't you grieve and fret
Because I get all soaking wet
There's endless miles and cups of tea
To warm the very heart of me
(Chorus)
Oh mother don't you shed a tear
Because the bosun's standing near
Holding a pillow fluffy and soft
To find full ship when I'm aloft
(Chorus)
Oh mother say a prayer for me
As I go sailing out to sea
You know the strength and courage it took
To see if I'd survive the cooking
(Chorus)
Oh mother give me one last kiss
I'll tell you of my fond'est wish
To sleep on deck, under the stars
And hang around in foreign bars
(Chorus)
I'll dress the part like Peter Pan
I'll spend my money like Uncle Sam
And fight the waves like Brian Bravo
To bring the Asgard back to you
(Chorus)
With her ladies and her gentlemen
She'll soon come sailing home again.
