A Sailor's Good-bye We've done this before, we've drank the cup dry. The one that was leaving, was a hell-of-a-guy. O'er half of the globe we've sailed at sea, We've drank to our health and immortality.
Your orders have come, your ship has set sail. We shall meet again to fight the same gale. The eighth sea has called , hoisted white sails of cloth, Will a sailor-ship remembered single-up and shove-off?
The wind and the waves are now your home. I'm all by myself to toast alone. So now my friend, I bid you good-bye; The one that has left, still a-hell-of-a-guy.
Michael P. Holden MUCS, USN (Ret.)
