[Intro]
[Verse]
A s for the anchor that lies at our bow
B s for the bowsprit and the jibs all lie low
C s for the capstan we all run around
D s for the davits to lower the boat down
[Chorus]
Merrily, merrily, so merry sail we
No mortal on earth like a sailor at sea
Heave away, haul away, the ship rolls along
Give a sailor his grog and there s nothing goes wrong
[Verse]
E s for the ensign that at our mast flew
F s for the forecastle, where lives our crew
G s for the galley where the salt junk smells strong
And H is the halyards, we hoist with a song
[Chorus]
Merrily, merrily, so merry sail we
No mortal on earth like a sailor at sea
Heave away, haul away, the ship rolls along
Give a sailor his grog and there s nothing goes wrong
[Verse]
I s for the eyebolts, good for the feet
J s for the jibs hoist, stands by the lead sheet
K s for the knightheads where the petty officer stands
L s for the leeside, hard found by new hands
[Chorus]
Merrily, merrily, so merry sail we
No mortal on earth like a sailor at sea
Heave away, haul away, the ship rolls along
Give a sailor his grog and there s nothing goes wrong
[Verse]
M s for the mainmast, it s stout and it s strong
N s for the needle that never points wrong
O s for the oars of our old jolly boats
And P s for the pinnace that lively do float
[Chorus]
Merrily, merrily, so merry sail we
No mortal on earth like a sailor at sea
Heave away, haul away, the ship rolls along
Give a sailor his grog and there s nothing goes wrong
[Verse]
Q s for the quarterdeck where our officers stand
And R s for the rudder that keeps the ship in command
S is for the stuns ls that drive her along
T s for the tops ls, to get there takes long
[Chorus]
Merrily, merrily, so merry sail we
No mortal on earth like a sailor at sea
Heave away, haul away, the ship rolls along
Give a sailor his grog and there s nothing goes wrong
[Verse]
U s for the uniform, mostly worn aft
V s for the vangs running from the main gap
W s for water, we re on a pint and a pound
And X marks the spot where old Stormy was drowned
[Chorus]
Merrily, merrily, so merry sail we
No mortal on earth like a sailor at sea
Heave away, haul away, the ship rolls along
Give a sailor his grog and there s nothing goes wrong
[Verse]
Y s for yardarm, needs a good sailor man
Z is for Zoë, I m her fancy man
Z s also for zero in the cold winter time
And now we have brought all the letters in rhyme
[Chorus]
Merrily, merrily, so merry sail we
No mortal on earth like a sailor at sea
Heave away, haul away, the ship rolls along
Give a sailor his grog and there s nothing goes wrong
[Verse]
A s for the anchor that lies at our bow
B s for the bowsprit and the jibs all lie low
C s for the capstan we all run around
D s for the davits to lower the boat down

No mortal on earth like a sailor at sea
Heave away, haul away, the ship rolls along
Give a sailor his grog and there s nothing goes wrong
