Lyrics appear in Shanties from the Seven Seas by Stan Hugill. Oh! I love the sailor and the sailor loves me Heave away, boys, heave away He comes to my window ev´ry morning at three Heave away, boys, heave away And when we is happy we toll the old bell Heave away, boys, heave away And when we is sad you can all go to hell Heave away, boys, heave away I loves a fat widow down Rotherhithe way Heave away... An´ when she next sees me, to me she will say Heave away... Oh, Johnny I´ve waited for you to return Heave away... So I can spend freely all the money you earn Heave away... Oh, roll the ol´ chariot, long may she roll Heave away... Why don´t the mate shake her, oh, God damn his soul Heave away... When I was a young man an´ well in me prime Heave away... I`d love all them yaller girls two at the time Heave away... But now I´m an old man an´ don´t feel so young Heave away... I´d sooner have lashin´s an´ lashin´s o´ rum Heave away... Oh, I´ve got a sister and she's nine foot tall Heave away... She sleeps in the kitchen with her feet in the hall Heave away... So heave away bullies for old Mobile Bay Heave away... The girls there will help you to spend your half pay Heave away... Song uploaded to youtube here: Heave Away Boys Heave Away Garry |
