| We'll be happy if never again boys to night | A |

| And the warm genial earth glads our vision at last | B |
| In the land of the stranger true hearts we shall find | C |
| To soothe us in absence of those left behind | C |

| THE SIGNAL IS WAVING Till morn we'll remain | D |
| Then part in the hope to meet one day again | E |
| Round the hearth stone of home in the land of our birth | F |
| The holiest spot on the face of the earth | F |
| Dear country our thoughts are as constant to thee | G |
| As the steel to the star or the stream to the sea | G |
| Ho land ho We near it We bound at the sight | A |
| Then be happy if never again boys to night | A |

| THE SIGNAL IS ANSWERED The foam sparkles rise | H |
| Like tears from the fountain of joy to the eyes | H |
| May rain drops that fall from the storm clouds of care | I |
| Melt away in the sun beaming smiles of the fair | I |
| One health as chime gaily the nautical bells | J |
| To woman God bless her wherever she dwells | J |
| THE PILOT'S ON BOARD thank heaven all's right | A |
| So be happy if never again boys to night | A |
