[A] As I was a [D]-walking down Ratcliffe [A] Highway, A flash-looking packet I [E] chanced for to see,
[A] Of the port that she came [D] from I cannot [A] say much,
But by her appearance I took [E] her for Dutch.
[A] Singing, Toralei, ladei, [D] aye, Toralei, [E] ladei, aye, Toralei, ladei, aye, [A] Toralei, aye.
Her flag was three colors and her masthead was low,
She was round at the counter and bluff [E] at the [A] bow,
From Labod to [D] Starburton so [A] sailed we,
She was sailing along with the wind [E] blowing free.
Singing, Toralei, [D] ladei, aye, [A] Toralei, [E] ladei, aye, Toralei, ladei, aye, [A]
Toralei, aye.
She was bowling [D] along with the wind [A] blowing free,
She flew off her topsail and waited for me,
I fired my bow [D] chaser, the signal [A] she knew,
She backed her main topsail and for me [E] hoved to.
[A] Singing, Toralei, [D] ladei, aye, Toralei, [E] ladei, aye, Toralei, ladei, [A] aye, Toralei, aye.
I hailed her in English, [D] she [A] answered me clear,
I'm bound for the Black Arrow, [E] bound to the Shakespeare,
[A] So I worshipped and weather [D]-walked and [A] what do you know,
She passed her me hauser and I took [E] her in tow.
[A]
Singing, Toralei, [D] ladei, aye, Toralei, [E] ladei, aye, Toralei, ladei, aye, [A] Toralei, aye.
I tipped her me flipper and I took her in tow,
And yard-arm to yard-arm away [E] we did go.
[A] She then took me up to her own private room,
And there all the evening we drank and [E] we spooned.
[A] Singing, Toralei, ladei, [D] aye, Toralei, [E] ladei, aye, Toralei, ladei, aye, [A] Toralei, aye.
