As we sailed down the Chyan-nel of old Eng-e-land, With our pen-nants all fly-ing at bay, And a man on the yard-arm a-clear-ing the reef tayck-le and this is what he'd say:
ChorusLet go the reef a-tayck-le. Let go the reef a-tayck-le, Let go the reef a-tayck-le, My sheets they are jammed

This song is thought to have originated in the Royal Navy, though it was also traditional under the “Red Duster” — the British flag flying on merchant or passenger ships.
