Well I've been on this ship since I don't know when
(And when we get to shore, we'll sail away again)
Hard and sunned, boy, weathered is my skin
(Heave up the sails boys, we'll sail away again)
Well me two land legs they don't work so well
(Heave haul away, we'll haul away again)
If I were on land I would be in jail
(Heave haul away, we'll haul away again)
We loot and we plunder we're made to fight
(Heave haul away, we'll haul away again)
With a crew that's young and a rig that's tight
(Heave haul away, we'll haul away again)
And it's fifteen men on a dead mans chest
(YO HO HO and a bottle of rum)
Drink and the devil had done for the rest
(YO HO HO and a bottle of rum)
Who knows on land what kind of trouble I'm in
(Heave haul away, we'll haul away again)
We attacked their navy and we stove them in
(Heave haul away, we'll haul away again)
You got your heading now boy, (Steady as she goes!)
(Heave haul away, we'll haul away again)
What awaits could be death now nobody knows
(Heave haul away, we'll haul away again)
And I'll be on this ship till the day I die
(And when we get to shore, we'll sail away again)
With a belly full of rum and blood shot eyes
(Heave up the sails boys, we'll sail away again)
