Well, a lad had a girl but not a shilling to spare,
Heave, ho, and away we go
So he said he’d go to sea and make his fortune there.
Heave, ho, and away we go
Said, “We can’t be wed till our coffers are full,
Heave, ho, and away we go
And I won’t come back till we’re swimmin’ in gold.”
Heave, ho, and away we go
So he set out to sea, left his girl alone,
Heave, ho, and away we go
And he took what the Sea had claimed as its own.
Heave, ho, and away we go
Every pearl and gem, every coin and key,
Heave, ho, and away we go
And as the waves screamed rage, he stole the Heart of the Sea.
Heave, ho, and away we go
But the lad never guessed that for his fortune he’d pay,
Heave, ho, and away we go
For the Sea takes back what is taken away.
Heave, ho, and away we go
When he got back home with his riches, he found
Heave, ho, and away we go
That in a terrible storm had his bonny lass drowned.
Heave, ho, and away we go
