The Good Ship White Star

Fair Cadiz
by Lot Ramirez, Marcos de la Cruz, Magdalene van den Velde, and Quintin Lawless
Filked to Mangulay Boat Song

Chorus:
Heel yo Ho, boys! Let her go, boys!
Bring her head round into the weather
Heel yo Ho, boys! Let her go, boys!
Sailing homeward to fair Cadiz

See the white star midst the lashings
See the powder brought to cannon
Every sailor's cutlass flashing
For the glory of fair Cadiz

Chorus

What care we how white the scarf is?
What care we for the enemy's numbers?
Falling backwards, all the foemen
All retreating from fair Cadiz

Chorus

Long we've sailed in search of treasure
Long we've wandered across the seas
Now each sailor's best endeavor
Brings us closer to fair Cadiz

Chorus

All the ladies in the Villa
Looking seaward before the sunrise
We'll return now 'ere the sun sets
We'll return to fair Cadiz

Chorus

There's a tavern by the dockside
Friendly faces and company
We shall meet and raise a toast there
Raise a toast to fair Cadiz

Chorus x2
Sailing homeward to fair Cadiz
