Heave Away
Traditional - New Foundland
Traditional - New Foundland
Come get your duds in order
'Cause we're bound to cross 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
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 dancing
Heave away, me jolly boys
We're all bound away
I wrote me love a letter
I was on the Jenny Lind
Heave away, me jollies, heave away
I wrote me love a letter
And I signed it with a grin
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 old St. John's
Where all the girls are dancing
Heave away, me jolly boys
We're all bound away
And its farewell Nancy darlin
For it’s now I’m gonna leave you
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
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 dancing
Heave away, me jolly boys
We're all bound away
