In Measure Time We'll Row
Capt. Patrick Tayluer
Then you'll see our oars with feathered spray,
As they sparkle in the beam of day,
In our little bark we glide
Swiftly o'er the silent tide
(Slower)
In our little bark we glide
Swiftly o'er the silent tide
From yonder lone and rocky shore,
The warrior his heritage to restore
O the warrior's heritage to restore!
And sweet the morning breezes blow,
While thus in measure time we'll row
We'll row, oh we'll row, oh in measure time we'll row!
We'll row, oh we'll row, oh in measure time we'll row!
The second part comes in on the second beat of the second full measure.
A song for rowing. It was evidently well liked on British ships.
