Heave Away Songtext

von The Fables

Come get your duds in order 'cause we're bound across the water
Heave away, me jollies, heave away
Come get your duds in order 'cause we're bound to leave tomorrow
Heave away me jolly boys, we're all bound away

Refrain:
Sometimes we're bound for Liverpool, Sometimes we're bound for Spain
Heave away, me jollies, heave away
But now we're bound for old St.John's, where all the girls are dancin'
Heave away me jolly boys, we're all bound away

I wrote me love a letter, it was on the Jenny Lynn
Heave away, me jollies, heave away
I wrote me love a letter and I signed it with a ring
Heave away, me jolly boys, we're all bound away

Refrain

So it's farewell Nancy darlin', 'cause it's now I'm gonna leave ya
Heave away, me jollies, heave away
You promised that you'd marry me, but how you did deceive me
Heave away me jolly boys we're all bound away

Refrain (3x)
