Don't let your sail blow over,

Don't let your ship go down

Batten down the four leaf clover

Tell yourself you're glory bound

And never mind your needless moaning

Remember how you come into town

Not a comb not a hammer

Nor a feather nor a flight

Nor a hoe nor a spanner

Nor a fiddle nor a fife

Nor a hand on your shoulder

In a bitter and a biting cold

You could be out on the street and on your own

Just like another rolling stone

Don't let your heart get weary

Don't let your lip go down

Pander to the bright and cheery

And make an optimistic sound

And when you feel the wind getting colder

Remember how you come into town

So don't let your tent blow over

Don't let your lines go down

Recognise the rootless rover

Try to make a joyful sound

And when you feel the best bit's over

Remember how you come into town
