I am a Jovial Marriner our calling is well known, We trade with many a Forreigner to purchase high renown, We serve our Country faithfully and bring home store of Gold; We do our business manfully, for we are free and bold: A Sea-man hath a valiant heart and bears a noble minde: He scorneth once to shrink or start, for any stormy wind. Tis known what hardship we indure abroad upon the Seas: Whilst others sleep at home secure, and spend their time in ease, We seldome dare lie down to rest lest danger should ensue: Our heads with care is sore opprest, beleeve me this is true, A Sea-man hath a valiant heart, etc. A Cowardly spirit must not think to prove a Sea-man bold; For to be sure he may not shrink in dangers manifold: When Sea-fights happen on the Main, and dreadful Canons rore, Then all men fight or else be slain, [for we have no] back door, [A Sea-man hath, etc.]
Tis Sea-men stout that doth deserve both honour and renown, In perils great we may not swerve though Neptune seem to frown: If once his curled front we spy drencht in the foamy brine; Then each man doth his business ply theres none that doth repine. A Sea-man hath, etc. When angry Billows brush the Skye, most hideous to behold, Then up our Ships are tost on hye, and with the waves are roulld; When tempests fierce our sails doth tear and rends the Masts a sunder. O! then we have great cause to fear or else it were a wonder. A Sea-man hath, etc. Great Rocks which lye amongst the waves doth threaten us with death. And many Sea-men finde their Graves in Sands which are beneath; To see the Masts of Ships appear, which hath been cast away, Would make a Land-man dye for fear, tis best at home to stay. A Sea-man hath a valiant heart and bears a noble minde: He scorneth once to shrink or start, for any stormy wind.

BRave England hath been much inricht by Art of Navigation: Great store of wealth we home have fetcht for to adorn our Nation: Our Merchants still we do supply with Traffick that is rare, Then Sea-men cast your caps on high we are without compare, A Sea-man hath a valiant heart, and bears a noble minde: He scorneth once to flinch or start for any stormy wind. Who should the Ladies pallats please with Spices of the best? If Sea-men all should take their ease and stay at home to rest: Our Gallants they would finde a want of silks to make them fine, And tearing boyes no more would rant if once they wanted wine. A Sea-man hath, etc. Our Land it would invaded be if Sea-men were not stout; We let our friends come in you see and keep our foes without; Our priviledge upon the Seas we bravely do maintain, And can enlarge it when we please in Royal Charles his Reign. A Sea-man hath, etc. Such Countries as do lie remote doth tremble at our fame: For we have taught them all to note tis England bears the Name: In forreign parts where ere we come our valour is well known, What ere they be they dare not mumm if we say alls our own. A Sea-man hath, etc.
When as our Ships with Merchandize are safely come to shore, No men like us under the Skies to drink, to sing, and rore: Good wine and beer we freely tope, until the ground look blew: We value neither Turk nor Pope, we are a jovial crew. A Sea-man hath, etc. We kiss our wives when we return, who long for us did wait; And he thats single needs not mourn, he cannot want a mate. Young women still are wondrous kinde to Sea-men in their need; And sure it shews a courteous minde, to do a friendly deed. A Sea-man hath etc. With pretty curious dainty knacks, we please the females well: We know what longing women lacks, most surely we can tell, A Sea-man is a Cock oth Game, Young Maidens finde it true: We never are so much to blame, to let them want their due. A Sea-man hath, etc. Thus Gallant Sea-men I have spread abroad your high renown: Which shall survive when you are dead, and gain a lasting Crown; Your praise to future ages shall most gloriously appear, Then courage Noble Sea-men all tis you I love most dear. A Sea-man hath a valiant heart and bears a noble minde: He scorneth once to shrink or start, for any stormy wind.
