1* -1  2  -2* 2  -1*  2   1*
Up a-loft, a-mid the rig-ging
 -3   -3   3*  -2* -1    2    -2*
Swift-ly blows the fa-v’ring gale
  -2*  3*   -3    1*  -1  2   3*  -2*
Strong as spring-time in its blos-som
 -2*  2  -1   1*   -1   2   1*
Fill-ing out each bend-ing sail

 3*  -2*  2    2    -2* 3*  -3
Roll-ing home dear land to thee
