Jolly Rogers Heave 'em All Away
The ship may be old and the deck may be warped
But we know that the riggin’ is true
Heave her up me boys, ugh!, Heave ‘em all away!
She may not look like much from the shore
But she’s got one helluva crew
Heave away me boys haul away, we’ll soon be bound for
home!
We’ll set the sails and pray for wind
And hope the seas are clear
[CHORUS 1]
We’ll skip up the riggin’ and dance on the main
And none of the crew will show fear
[CHORUS 2]
So come now lads don’t be afraid
It’s time you left the land
[CHORUS 1]
You may leave your home no more than a boy
But it’s sure that you’ll come home a man
[CHORUS 2]
We’ll point her nose toward the southern sky
And head straight towards the horn
[CHORUS 1]
When we return we’ll have gold to spare
Just as sure as you’re born
[CHORUS 2]
We’ll fill her hold with spices and rum
And every man gets his share
[CHORUS 1]
She may be no more than a rickety ship
But at least her captain is fair
[CHORUS 2]
We’ll come home proud we’ll come home rich
We’ll be met by our girlfriends and wives
[CHORUS 1]
But we pray to God that the two never meet
Or we’re at sea for the rest of our lives
[CHORUS 2]
