Hear the tender coming pressing all the men,
Oh dear hinnie, what'll we do then?
Here's the tender coming off at Shields Bar
Here's the tender coming, full of men o' war.Hide me canny geordie, hide thissen away,
Hide til the tender goes from Trowridge Bay.
They will press you for, and that is what it means,
Here's the tender coming for the Red Marine.They always come at night, they never come by day,
They always come at night to steal your lad away.
Here's the tender coming off at Shields Bar,
Hear the tender coming full of men o' war.
