Here's to the eyes of a sweet lovely lass,<br>
The charms of the wife that I've taken at last,<br>
Here's to the [[queen]] that I've sworn to protect,<br>
To serve in the end if I must with my death,<br>
 
And Here's to tankard of good English Mead,<br>
A toast to the Spanish, so well do they bleed,<br>
And here's to the roll of the fife and the drum,<br>
Let no man amongst us be the first to run,<br>
 
<b>Chorus: 
Let the wind in the rigging be a sweet lullaby,<br>
And the crash of the cannons be a good day to die,<br>
For the glory of the queen and the beauty of my wife,<br>
For the honor of the [[crown]], I'll die, I'll die,<br>
For the honor of the crown I'll die,<br></b>
 
Here's to the ladies we've all grown to love,<br>
A sweet lovely rose all a flower in the sun,<br>
Here's to the joys that they've all learned to give,<br>
How many men have died for the favor of a kiss,<br>
 
And here's to the sea and the gold to be made,<br>
So let's all toast to Phillip and the tolls that he's paid,<br>
Here's to a fire and songs from the heart,<br>
A tale told in wonder a roof made of stars,<br>
 
Repeat chorus:
 
Here's to a dream and the flash of the steel,<br>
For death is a coward when love takes the field,<br>
Here's to my wife and her charms unsurpassed,<br>
A vision of beauty, a dream come to past,<br>
 
So raise up your tankards, and give me a toast,<br>
For once and for all, let us bury our ghosts,<br>
When the morning tide rolls in and our sails are full of hope,<br>
Remember what your fighting for,<br>
And be sure to count the gold!<br>
 
Repeat chorus:
