Heave Away
Come get your duds in order 'cause we're goin' across the water
Heave away, me jollies, heave away
Come get your duds in order 'cause we're goin' to leave tomorrow
Heave away, me jolly boys, we're all bound away
Sometimes we're bound for Liverpool, sometimes we're bound for Spain
Heave away, me jollies, heave away
But now we're bound for St. John's to watch the girls dancin'
Heave away, me jolly boys, we're all bound away
I wrote my love a letter and I signed it with a ring
Heave away, me jollies, heave away
I wrote my love a letter I was on the Jenny Lind
Heave away, me jolly boys, we're all bound away
Sometimes we're bound for Liverpool, sometimes we're bound for Spain
Heave away, me jollies, heave away
Right now we're bound for St. John's to watch the girls dancin'
Heave away, me jolly boys, we're all bound away
So it's farewell Nancy darling, 'cause it's now I'm going to leave you
Heave away, me jollies, heave away
You promised that you'd marry me, but oh you did deceive me
Heave away, me jolly boys, we're all bound away
Sometimes we're bound for Liverpool, moretimes we're bound for Spain
Heave away, me jollies, heave away
Right now we're bound for St. John's to watch the girls dancin’
Heave away, me jolly boys, we're all bound away
