Now there's a good ship H.M.S Cockrobin
[Bb] [A7] [Dm]
on a home trip up and down she's bobbin'
[G] [C] [G] [C]
Tho' the crew's pretty tough the weather's so rough
[F] [C]
they're all fed up and say that they've had more than enough
[F]
I've got a brother he's an able seaman
[Bb] [A]
and they call him Red-Haired Tom
[G] [C] [G] [C]
I wired to say "I'll meet you and with your pals I'll treat you"
[G] [C]
So who’d you think I've had a message from?
[F] [C]
forty-seven ginger-headed sailors Coming home across the briny sea!
[F] [Dm]
When the anchor's weighed and the journey's made
[G7] [C7]

When there's forty-seven ginger-headed sailors
[D7] [Gm]

And as they step ashore, there'll be one mighty roar
[C] [C7] [F]
from forty-seven ginger-headed sailors!

[C] [F]
is forty-seven ginger-headed sailors!"
