Come cheer up my lads, it's to glory we steer
To add something more to this wonderful year
To honour, we call you, as free men not slaves
For who are so free as the sons of the waves
Heart of oak are our ships
Heart of oak are our men
We always are ready
Steady boys, steady!
We'll fight and we'll conquer again
Our worthy forefathers, let's give them a cheer
To climates unknown did courageously steer
Through oceans to deserts for freedom they came
And dying bequeathed us their freedom and fame
Heart of oak are our ships
Heart of oak are our men
We always are ready
Steady boys, steady!
We'll fight and we'll conquer again
And again
And again
And again
