London Pool

London Pool's in London town, Ay, boys! O boys! London Pool's in London town, Where the great ships anchor down! O to shake the canvas free, Hear the cordage cheerily Whistling to the open sea Down from London Pool, O! London Pool's a crowded place, Ay, boys! O boys! London Pool's a crowded place, Crafts and crews of every race! O to hear the clanking chain Trail along the wharf again, - Hear the tautening ropes astrain Down from London Pool, O! London Pool's a gallant sight, Ay, boys! O boys! London Pool's a gallant sight, Toil by day and glare by night! O to shake our heels and go, - Feel the four free winds ablow, Hail the lights of long ago Down from London Pool, O!
