So Handy

1. Handy high and handy low, Hand y, me boys, so
2. You've got your advance and to sea you must go, Hand y, me boys, so
hand y, Oh, it's handy high and away we'll go, Hand y, me boys, so hand y!
hand y, Around Cape Horn through frost and snow, Hand y, me boys, so hand y!

3 Growl you may, but go you must.
Just growl too much and your head they'll bust.

4 Now, up aloft from down below,
Up aloft that yard must go.

5 Now, one more pull and we'll show her clew!
Oh, we're the boys that'll put her through,

6 With a bully ship and a bully crew,
And a bully Old Man to drive her through!

7 We're bound away around Cape Horn,
And we'll get there as sure as you're born!

8 Now, one more pull and that will do!
Oh, we're the gang that'll shove her through.

9 Now, here we are at sea again;
Two months' advance we're up against.

10 We're the gang that can do it again!
Oh, we're the boys that'll do it once more!
