- Whae, hey, we are off tomorrow (solo)
Whae, hey, we are off tomorrow (chorus)
Off tomorrow at the break of day (solo)
Walk along, you Saucy Anna (chorus) - We’ll fly that flag and sail tomorrow
God Bless our Lady Queen. - We’ll fly that flag and sail tomorrow
Tomorrow is our jubilee day. - I wish I was in old Mobile Bay
I know, boys, just how I’d feel. - To just sit on my Anna’s knee
I know she would say I was making free. - Oh stay at home, Oh stay with me
Oh stay at home, don’t go to se-ea. - A dollar a day is a sailor’s pay
Easy come, easy go away - I thought I heard our Old Man say
We’re outward bound for Mobile Bay - Way hey we are off tomorrow
Off tomorrow at the break of day
