Early in the morning, the moon was in the sky
Early in the morning, I kissed my love goodbye
For kissing time is over
And it's time and time to go
And we've a long long road to travel
To Rosario
Wake her! Oh shake her!
The Peter's flying free
The pilot's come aboard her
And she's hungry for the sea
For kissing time is over
And it's time and time to go
And we've a long long road to travel
To Rosario
And now she smells the deep sea
And now she's gathering way
And soon she'll meet the rollers
In a white smother of spray
And it's southwest! And a half west!
And steady as we go
We've a long long road to travel
To Rosario
Wake her! Oh shake her!
The anchor chain comes in
So a roaring shanty chorus
Will make the capstan spin
For kissing time is over
And it's time and time to go
And we've a long long road to travel
To Rosario
The summer will soon be gone, lass
The leaves will fade and die
And white on every furrow
The winter snows will lie
But we're bound for the long, long furrow
Where never lies the snow
We've a long long road to travel
To Rosario
Wake her! Oh shake her!
The moon was in the sky
And early in the morning
I kissed my love goodbye
For kissing time is over
And it's time and time to go
We've a long long road to travel
To Rosario
Wake her! Oh shake her!
The moon was in the sky
And early in the morning
I kissed my love goodbye
For kissing time is over
And it's time and time to go
We've a long long road to travel
To Rosario
