| Blowing over a silver sea | B |
| There's a joyous voice in the lapsing tide | C |
| That calls enticingly | D |
| The mist of dawn has taken flight | E |
| To the dim horizon's bound | F |
| And with wide sails set and eager hearts | G |
| We're off to the fishing ground | F |
| - | |
| Ho comrades mine how that brave wind sings | H |
| Like a great sea harp afar | I |
| We whistle its wild notes back to it | J |
| As we cross the harbor bar | I |
| Behind us there are the homes we love | K |
| And hearts that are fond and true | L |
| And before us beckons a strong young day | M |
| On leagues of glorious blue | L |
| - | |
| Comrades a song as the fleet goes out | N |
| A song of the orient sea | B |
| We are the heirs of its tingling strife | O |
| Its courage and liberty | B |
| Sing as the white sails cream and fill | D |
| And the foam in our wake is long | P |
| Sing till the headlands black and grim | Q |
| Echo us back our song | P |
| - | |
| Oh 'tis a glad and heartsome thing | R |
| To wake ere the night be done | S |
| And steer the course that our fathers steered | T |
| In the path of the rising sun | S |
| The wind and welkin and wave are ours | U |
| Wherever our bourne is found | F |
| And we envy no landsman his dream and sleep | V |
| When we're off to the fishing ground | F |
