W:1. You hearts of oak do you wish to try your fortunes on the sea,
W:Don't you be afraid of your enemies, but enter now with me,
W:With five pounds bounty and two months' pay and leave to go on shore
W:And to be with the pretty girls to sport and play, what can a British Tar wish more. (repeat)
W:
W:2. Now our ship she is oak, she sails with the wind to face our daring foe,
W:And for to fight we're all inclined if it should happen so.
W:Our captains generous bold and free and of grog we've got great store
