Farewell and adieu to you Spanish ladies
farewell and adieu to you ladies of spain
for we've received orders to sail for old England
and we may never see you fair ladies again


we'll rant and we'll roar like true british sailors
we'll rant and we'll roar all on the salt seas
until we strike soundings in the channel of old England
from Ushant to scilly is thirty-five leagues


we hove our ship to, with the wind at sou'west boys
we hove our ship to, deep soundings to take
twas forty-five fathoms with a white sandy bottom
so we squared our main yard and up channel did steer


we'll rant and we'll roar like true british sailors
we'll rant and we'll roar all on the salt seas
until we strike soundings in the channel of old England
from Ushant to scilly is thirty-five leagues


now let every man drink off his full bumper
let every man drink off of his full glass
we'll drink and be jolly and drown melancholy
and here's to the health of each true-hearted lass


we'll rant and we'll roar like true british sailors
we'll rant and we'll roar all on the salt seas
until we strike soundings in the channel of old England
from Ushant to scilly is thirty-five leagues
This here shanty is from the game assassins creed 4 black flag. do enjoy.
