For as the calm the storm succeeds, The scene delights by changing; Though temptests howl along the main, To Americav{, commerce, and freedom. And The The And cheer with hope to meet again, friends we left behind us; n under sail we laugh at the gale, though landsmen took pale never heed them: B~t top of a glass to some favorite lass, To Americav{, commerce and freedom. B1Jt when arrived in sight of land, ·or safe in port rejoicing; 01; r ship we moor our sails we hand, Whilst out our boat is hoisting: With cheerful hearts the shore we reach, To America, commerce, and freedom. And tripping lightly over the beach, The pretty lasses meet us; When the full flowing bowl enlivens the soul, To fool it we merrily lead them: And each bonny lass will drink off her glass, To America, commerce and freedom. Our prizes sold, the chink we share, And gladly we receive it; And when we ~eet a brother too, That wants, we freely give it; No free-born sailor yet had store, To America, commerce and freedom And when it is gone--to sea for more, earn it but to spend it; Then drink round, my boys, 'tis the first of our joys, To relieve the distressed, clothe; and feed them; It is a duty we share with the brave a.nd fair, In this land of commerce and freedom.
