THERE'S A SHIP ROLLING HOME
Kennedy

as rec by Rita Williams w Ivy Benson & her All Girls Band  
Jan 21st 1944 London


There's a ship rolling home on the lonely Atlantic,
Just an old rusty steamer of the seven seas;
There's a ship rolling home and she's nothing romantic,
But she'll sail through the gale as in a gentle breeze!

Ahoy!
Sailor Ahoy!
Oh just look at her smoke,
She'll sail you homeward with her heart of oak!
There's a ship rolling home on the lonely Atlantic,
May the fair winds be with her as she's rollin' home.

There's a ship rolling home on the lonely Atlantic,
May the fair winds be with her as she's rolling, rolling home.
