Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGHIHJGKG JLMLFNHNOPQPRJKJ FSTSUPVPFHFHWPXP| Oh some may sing of the surging sea or chant | A |
| of the raging main | B |
| Or tell of the taffrail blown away by the raging | C |
| hurricane | B |
| With an oh of the feel of the salt sea spray as | D |
| it stippls the guffy's cheek | E |
| And oh for the sob of the creaking mast and the | F |
| halyard's aching squeak | E |
| And some may sing of the galley foist and some of | G |
| the quadrireme | H |
| And some of the day when the xebec came and hit us | I |
| abaft the beam | H |
| Oh some may sing of the girl in Kew that died for | J |
| a sailor's love | G |
| And some may sing of the surging sea as I may have | K |
| observed above | G |
| - | |
| Oh some may long for the Open Road or crave for | J |
| the prairie breeze | L |
| And some o'er sick of the city's strain may yearn | M |
| for the whispering trees | L |
| With an oh for the rain to cool my face and the | F |
| wind to blow my hair | N |
| And oh for the trail to Joyous Garde where I may | H |
| find my fair | N |
| And some may love to lie in the field in the stark | O |
| and silent night | P |
| The glistening dew for a coverlet and the moon and | Q |
| stars for light | P |
| Let others sing of the soughing pines and the winds | R |
| that rustle and roar | J |
| And others long for the Open Roadm as I may have | K |
| remarked before | J |
| - | |
| Ay some may sing of the bursting bomb and the | F |
| screech of a screaming shell | S |
| Or tell the tale of the cruel trench on the other | T |
| side of hell | S |
| And some may talk of the ten mile hike in the dead | U |
| of a winter night | P |
| And others chaunt of the doughtie Kyng with mickle | V |
| valour dight | P |
| And some may long for the song of a child and the | F |
| lullaby's fairy charm | H |
| And others yearn for the crack of the bat and the | F |
| wind of the pitcher's arm | H |
| Oh some have longed for this and that and others | W |
| have craved and yearned | P |
| And they all may sing of whatever they like as far | X |
| as I'm concerned | P |
