21 men are entering a ship to sail the sea
they're waving me goodbye
Nine of them from Britain, whiskey in their hands
a shanty in their lips like a happy sigh

No matter where you might go
I will follow you, I will follow you
I will follow you to Ireland or Scotland
Believe me I will do
Believe me I will do

21 men are entering a ship to sail the sea
on their face a happy smile
Four of them from China, rice wine in china cups
looks like they're back home in just a while

No matter where you might go
I will follow you, I will follow you
I will follow you to Jiangxi, Hubei,
even Guizhou even Guizhou

21 men are entering a ship to sail the sea
I can see them dance
Three of them from America, Caipirinha to drink
If I joined I would have a better chance

No matter where you might go
I will follow you, I will follow you
I will follow you to Brasil, Argentina
even Peru even Peru

21 men are entering a ship to sail the sea
They look very smart
Five of them from Russia, vodka in their bags
me I would have a pounding heart

No matter where you might go
I will follow you, I will follow you
I will follow you to Sibiria or Letland
Beleive me I will do
Beleive me I will do

21 men are entering a ship to sail the sea
one man is standing on the bay
I guess there's nothing left for me to say
one man is going here to stay

No matter where you may go
I will follow you, I will follow you
