All hands holding tight to the wheel   All hands reaching fore   All hands holding tight to the wheel   Bring her around, filling tight with the wind   Coming down, back on the East India lane      We're there, fifteen girls to a man   We're there, fifteen boys   We're there, fifteen girls to a man   Bring her around, filling tight with the wind   Coming down, back on the East India lane      Cape Horn, devil's blowing a gale   All aboard to pull us down   Cape Horn will wreck and tatter the sails   Bring her around, filling tight with the wind   Coming down, back on the East India lane      Haul boys the sultan promises all   More gold than we can store   Haul boys let your (?) sheets fall   Bring her around, filling tight with the wind   Coming down, back on the East India lane      Bring her around, filling tight with the wind   Coming down, back on the East India lane
