Heave Away

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
A 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. Johns
Where all the girls are dancin'
Heave away
A me jolly boys, we're all bound away

I wrote me love a letter
I was on the Jennie Lynn
Heave away
Me jollies, heave away
I wrote me love a letter
And I signed it with a ring
Heave away
A 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. Johns
Where all the girls are dancin'
Heave away
A me jolly boys, we're all bound away

So it's farewell Nancy darlin'
Cause 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
A 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. Johns
Where all the girls are dancin'
Heave away
A 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. Johns
Where all the girls are dancin'
Heave away
A 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. Johns
Where all the girls are dancin'
Heave away
A me jolly boys, we're all bound away

Heave away
Me jolly boys, we're all bound away
Heave away
Me jolly boys, we're all bound away
