On a Monday morning in the month of May
On a Monday morning in the month of May
I thought I heard the old man say
The Rosabella sails today

Chorus
We're goin' on board the Rosabella
We're goin' on board the Rosabella
We're goin' on board
Going right down to board
The saucy Rosabella

She's a deep water ship with a deep water crew
She's a deep water ship with a deep water crew
We can stick to the coast but we're damned if we do
On board the Rosabella

Chorus

All around Cape Horn in the Month of May
All around Cape Horn in the Month of May
Around Cape Horn is a bloody long way
On board the Rosabella

Chorus

Them Bowry girls do make me grieve
Them Bowry girls do make me grieve
They spent my money and made me leave
On board the Rosabella

[From the singing of Ken Bramman]
