{title:Strike the Bell}
{st:Traditional}
{c:Chorus:}
Str[C]ike the bell, s[D]econd mate, l[G]et us go below, hey
L[C]ook well to weather, you can s[G]ee it`s going to bl[D]ow.
L[G]ook at the glass, you can s[C]ee that it is fell.
We w[D]ish that you would hurry up and str[G]ike, strike the bell!

O[C]ut on the p[D]oop deck, a-w[G]alkin` about,
St[C]ands the second mate, so st[G]eady and so st[D]out.
W[G]hat he is a-thinkin`, he kn[C]ows not himself.
We w[D]ish that he would hurry up and str[G]ike, strike the bell!

{c:Chorus.}

Down on the maindeck, workin` at the pumps,
There is the starboard watch, a-longin` for their bunks.
The look out to weather and see a great swell.
They`re wishin` that the second mate would strike, strike the bell!

{c:Chorus.}

Aft at the wheel, poor Anderson stands,
Grasping at the spokes with his cold, mittened hands.
He looks at the compass, the course is clear as Hell!
He`s wishin` that the second mate would strike, strike the bell!

{c:Chorus.}

Out on the quarterdeck, our gallant captain stands,
Looking out to windward with a spyglass in his hands.
What he is a-thinkin`, we know quite well.
He`s thinkin` more of shortening sail than strike, strike the bell!

{c:Chorus.}
