about

That's right me hearties

lyrics

Heave ho me lads heave ho and row for the captain he did say
There'll be no wind on the lug sail white there'll be no wind today
Heave ho me lads heave ho and row for the captain did pronounce
There'll be no wind on the crab claw grey there'll be no wind today
Heave ho me lads and row

To the detriment of surf to the detriment of sand
My lady fell in love with a landlocked man
So I sailed to the west waged war with the sea
Where weather and the waves were the cavalry

Landlubber lashed by a rash salt spray
I’d throw him overboard but he’s ballast on the way
Dreaming of a river on the open sea
Grey was the colour of the estuary
Wide was the water where the weather brought rain
Ripples on a river where the rain drops stay
Ripples on a river where the rain drops stay

Will the barnacles binge on shipwrecked hull
Or will I strike a passage on an ocean lull
You’re a treasure trove resting in the depths below
Where the sun will never shine and the sea will never show

Landlubber lashed by a rash salt spray
I’d throw him overboard but he’s ballast on the way
Dreaming of a river on the open sea
Grey was the colour of the estuary
Wide was the water where the weather brought rain
Ripples on a river where the rain drops stay
Ripples on a river where the rain drops stay

Serpents scale the depths where mermaids never swim
And the howling of the banshees mingles with the din
So I sink to the bottom with the coral and the clams
For my lady fell in love with a land locked man

Landlubber lashed by a rash salt spray
I’d throw him overboard but he’s ballast on the way
Dreaming of a river on the open sea
Grey was the colour of the estuary
Wide was the water where the weather brought rain
Ripples on a river where the rain drops stay
Landlubber lashed by a rash salt spray
I’d throw him overboard but he’s ballast on the way
Dreaming of a river on the open sea
Grey was the colour of the estuary
Wide was the water where the weather brought rain
Ripples on a river where the rain drops stay
Ripples on a river where the rain drops stay
