Handy Me Boys lyrics

Why can't ye be so handy-o!

Handy, me boys, so handy!

Oh, aloft this yard must go.

Handy, me boys, so handy!

Ooh! Up aloft from down below.

Handy, me boys, so handy!

Growl ye may, but go ye must.

Handy, me boys, so handy!

Growl too much an yer head they'll bust.

Handy, me boys, so handy!

Oh, a bully ship an' a bully crew.

Handy, me boys, so handy!

Oh, we're the gang for the kick 'er through.

Handy, me boys, so handy!

Yer advance has gone, yer at sea again.

Handy, me boys, so handy!

Hey, bound round the horn through the hail an' rain.

Handy, me boys, so handy!

Sing an' haul, an' haul an' sing.

Handy, me boys, so handy!

Up aloft this yard we'll swing.

Handy, me boys, so handy!

Up aloft that yard must go.

Handy, me boys, so handy!

For we are outward bound, ye know.

Handy, me boys, so handy!

A handy ship an' a handy crew.

Handy, me boys, so handy!

A handy Mate an Old Man too.

Handy, me boys, so handy!
