Emma, Emma let me be
Rolling down the bay to Julianna
It's Emma, Emma let me be
Rolling down the bay to Julianna
Them windward girls they all agree
That now I'm bound away to sea
Them windward girls are hard to please
A-pullin' on yer ol' mainsheet
Why do the Judies love me so
Because I don't tell all I know
It’s Oh Miss Emma don’t you cry
Goodbye me darlin’ girl goodbye
In the morning we do sail away
Around the horn a-chasin' whale
It's Oh Miss Emma fare you well
You'll always be me darling girl
Wish I had that girl in tow
I’d tow her up to Callao
Them Windward girls they all love me
But now I’m bound away to sea
Haul away an' get your pay
Haul boys when she takes a roll
Shake an’ break her, blast your soul
Sweat that yard, the mate did say
One more pull an' then belay
