Rosabella lyrics

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 will sail today.

Chorus

So I’m goin’ on board the Rosabella,
I’m goin’ on board the Rosabella,
I’m goin’ on board, right down to board
The saucy Rosabella.

She’s a deepwater ship with a deepwater crew
She’s a deepwater ship with a deepwater crew
We can stick to the coast but I’m 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,
All around Cape Horn is a bloody long way
On board the Rosabella. (Chorus)

Those Penryn* girls they all will grieve
Those Penryn* girls they all will grieve
They spends me money and they makes me leave!
On board the Rosabella. (Chorus)

Fare thee well you ladies of Falmouth* town 
Fare thee well you ladies of Falmouth* town 
I'd like to stay but I'm goin' on down
To board the "Rosabella" (Chorus)

On a Monday morning in the month of May
On a Monday morning in the month of May
I’m sure I heard the old man say
The Rosabella will sail today. (Chorus x2)
