YE Gentlemen of England, That live at home at ease, Little do you think upon The dangers of the seas. Give ear unto the mariners, And they will plainly show, The cares and the fears, When the stormy winds do blow. All you that will be seamen, Must bear a valiant heart, For when you come upon ths seas, You must not think to start; Nor once to be faint hearted, In hail, rain, blow, or snow, Nor to think for to shrink When the stormy winds do blow. The bitter storms and tempests Poor seamen must endure, Day and night with many a fright, We seldom rest secure.
Our sleep is disturbed, With visions strange to know, And with dreams on the streams, When the stormy winds do blow. In claps of roaring thunder, Which darkness do enforce, We often find our ship to stray, Beyond our wonted course, Which causes great distractions, And sinks our hearts full low; It is in vain to complain, When the stormy winds do blow. Sometimes in Neptunes bosom, Our ships are tossd with waves, And every man expecting The sea to be his grave, Then up aloft she mounteth, And down again so low, Tis with waves, O with waves, When the stormy winds do blow.
Then down again we fall to prayer, With all our might and thought, When refuge all doth fail us, Tis that must bear us out, To God we call for succour, For him it is we know, Must aid us, and save us, When the stormy winds do blow. The lawyer and the usurer That sits in gowns of fur, In closets warm, can take no harm, Abroad they need not stir. When winter fierce in cold do pierce, And bears with hail and snow, We are sure to endure, When the stormy winds do blow. We bring home costly merchandise, And jewels of great price, To serve our English gallantry, With many a rare device. To please the English gallantry, Our pains we freely show, For we toil, and we moil, When the stormy winds do blow. We sometimes sail to the Indies, For to fetch home spices rare, Sometimes again to France and Spain, For wines beyond compare. Whilst gallants are carousing, In taverns on a row, Then we sweep, oer the deep, When the stormy winds do blow. When tempests are blown over, And greatest fears are past, And when tis fair and temprate air, We strait lie down to rest. But when the billows tumble, And waves do furious grow,
Then we rouze up, we rouze up, When the stormy winds do blow. If enemies oppose us, When Engladd is at wars With any foreign nation, We fear no wounds nor scars; Our roaring guns shall teach them, Our valour for to know, Whilst they reel in the keel, When the stormy winds do blow. We are no cowardly shrinkers, But Englishmen true bred, We play our parts with bold hearts, And never fly for dread. Well ply our business nimbly, Whereer we come or go, And our mates to the streights, When the stormy winds do blow. Then courage all brave mariners, And never be dismayd, Since we have bold adventurers, We never shall want trade. Our merchants will employ us, To fetch them wealth we know: Then be bold, work for gold, When the stormy winds do blow. Then we return in safety, With wages for our pains, The tapster and the vintner Do help to share our gains. Well call for liquor roundly, And pay before we go; And well roar on the shore, When the stormy winds do blow.
