Cheer, boys, cheer, no more of idle sorrow,
Courage, true hearts shall bear us on our way,
Hope points before, and shows a bright to-morrow,
Let us forget the darkness of to-day.
Then farewell England, much as we may love thee,
We’ll dry the tears that we have shed before;
We’ll not weep to sail in search of fortune,
Then farewell England, farewell evermore.
CHORUS.
Then cheer, boys, cheer for England, mother England,
