G C G
From the pines of California
C
And by Chile's endless strand
D G
We ha'e sailed the world twice over
D G
Every port in every land
[Chorus]
C G
Rolling home, rolling home
C
Rolling home across the sea
D G
Rolling home to Caledonia
D G
Rolling home, dear land, to thee
[Verse 3]
C G
And to all ye blaggard pirates
C
Who would chase us from the waves
D G
Heed ye well that those who've tried us
D G
Soon have found their watery graves
[Chorus]
C G
Rolling home, rolling home
C
Rolling home across the sea
D G
Rolling home to Caledonia
D G
Rolling home, dear land, to thee
[Verse 4]
C G
We were boarded in Jamaica
C
Where the Jolly Rodger flew
D G
But our swords were hardly drawn, boys
D G
'Ere they took a rosy hue
[Chorus]
C G
Rolling home, rolling home
C
Rolling home across the sea
D G
Rolling home to Caledonia
D G
Rolling home, dear land, to thee
[Verse 5]
C G
We return with precious cargo
C
And with bounty coined in gold
D G
And our sweethearts will rejoice, boys
D G
For they lo'e their sailors bold
[Chorus]
C G
Rolling home, rolling home
C
Rolling home across the sea
D G
Rolling home to Caledonia
D G
Rolling home, dear land, to thee
[Chorus]
N.C.
Rolling home, rolling home
Rolling home across the sea
N.C.
Rolling home to Caledonia
