LYRICS
Heave ho, away boys, it’s to your stations all,
Heave ho, away boys, and heed the captain’s call
Heave ho, away boys, tonight we’re running free
Heave ho, away boys, across the devil sea

The wind is rearing up, my boys, the weather’s turning foul
There’s a big storm up ahead, my boys, tonight we’ll hear it howl
Better batten down the hatches, lads, forget about your beds
There’ll be heavy work tonight, boys, before you lay your heads.

The waves are cresting high, my boys, the moon is bloody red
Bring in the sails and tie them tight, or they’ll be ripped to shreds
Make sure the cargoes in the hold won’t shift and bear us down
If we lose our will tonight, boys, we surely all must drown.

Bring on high seas, bring on the gales, we’ll take them in good stride
Our hearts are strong, our ship is stout, she is the sailor’s pride
Bring on high seas, bring on the gales, with God upon our side
We’ll safely bring our good ship in across the ocean wide

Heave ho, away boys, it’s to your stations all,
Heave ho, away boys, and heed the captain’s call
Heave ho, away boys, tonight we’re running free
Heave ho, away boys, across the devil sea
…..
The sea was wild and boiling and it tossed us like a top
It threw us lightly skyward and as quickly us drop
I’ll swear a watery hand reared up and flung us half a league
Our decks swam under water and we felt the boundless deep.

For twelve long hours the roaring gales, they lashed us without grace
The night so black no man could see his hand before his face
But our gallant ship, with God’s firm hand, bore through the dreadful night
And brought us safely home once more to the morning’s blessed light

Bring on high seas, bring on the gales, we’ll take them in good stride
Our hearts are strong, our ship is stout, she is the sailor’s pride
Bring on high seas, bring on the gales, with God upon our side
We’ll safely bring our good ship in across the ocean wide

Heave ho, away boys, it’s to your stations all,
Heave ho, away boys, and heed the captain’s call
Heave ho, away boys, tonight we’re running free
Heave ho, away boys, across the devil sea
Heave ho, away boys, it’s to your stations all,
Heave ho, away boys, and heed the captain’s call
Heave ho, away boys, tonight we’re running free
Heave ho, away boys, across the devil sea
Heave ho, away boys, across the devil sea
