Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I wake with rum and cannon smoke,
(A crooked grin, a filthy joke.)
The sea is loud, my purse is fat,
(I tip my hat — imagine that.)


Hey — ho — hey ho!
Hey — ho — ho!

[Verse 2]
The devil knows me face to face,
(We laugh about the human race.)
He likes my work, I like his heat,
(We drink and make our deal complete.)

[Chorus]
Hey ho, (run you fine-dressed men),
Hey ho, (pray hard and pray again,)
Ho ho, (your fear is sweet and slow,)
Hey ho, (I love this job, you know.)


Hey — ho!
Ho — hey ho!

[Verse 3]
They lock their doors and hide their gold,
(When black flags rise and drums are rolled.)
Their clean soft hands begin to shake,
(I smile wide — for habit’s sake.)

Hey ho — hey ho!

[Verse 4]
They call me evil, cursed, and mad,
(I call this life the best I’ve had).
No crown, no law, no holy lie,
(Just open sea and open sky.)

[Chorus]
Hey ho, run you fine-dressed men,
Hey ho, pray hard and pray again,
Ho ho, your fear is sweet and slow,
Hey ho, I love this job, you know.


Hey — ho!
Ho — ho!

[Bridge]
The church bells cry, (the streets go still,)
I knock once hard — (against my will.)
The devil laughs, (the night says “yes”,)
I bow polite, (then make a mess.)

Hey ho — hey ho!

[Verse 5]
So judge me from your safe dry land,
(With shaking voice and praying hand.)
I sail on proud, corrupt, and free,
(A perfect life — at least for me.)

[Chorus]
Hey ho, run you fine-dressed men,
Hey ho, pray hard and pray again,
Ho ho, your fear is sweet and slow,
Hey ho, I love this job, you know.

[Chorus]
Hey ho, laugh loud and steal some more,
Hey ho, I’ve done this all before,
Ho ho, this life fits perfectly,
Hey ho, the sea belongs to me.

[Final Chorus]
HEY HO, RUN FAST YOU FINE-DRESSED MEN!
HEY HO, THIS TALE WILL NEVER END!
HO HO, I GRIN FROM TOE TO TOE,
HEY HO — I LOVE THIS LIFE, YOU KNOW!
