Heave Me Boys Away
Words traditional
Music traditional: "Heave Me Boys Away"
Walk 'er round for we're rollin' homeward - Heave, me boys, together!
The bully old ship is a-lyin' windward - Heave, me boys, away!
We're taut an' trim an' the wind is blowin',
Snug up aloft an' the ship she's goin'.
Heave 'er an' we'll break 'er, for the old ship's a-rollin' home.
Sing an' heave an' heave an' sing - Heave, me boys, together!
Heave an' make the capstan spring - Heave, me boys, together!
'Tis blow ye winds for London Town-O!
Where the girls are dressed so fine-O!
Heave 'er an' we'll break 'er, for the old ship's a-rollin' home.
Sails trimmed taut an' the ship she's goin' - Heave, me boys, together!
Move 'er round for the winds a-blowin' - Heave, me boys, together!
So goodbye, gals, we're bound to leave you,
Goodbye, Sally, and goodbye Lulu,
Heave 'er an' we'll break 'er, for the old ship's a-rollin' home.
