Over seas and far away
|
Heave away boys
|
Sea dogs sail their lives away
|
Heave away boys
|
|
Ghosts of sea dogs at break of day
|
Crusty beards and coats of grey
|
Weigh the anchor let¡¯s be away
|
From this day on we¡¯re carried by the wind
|
|
Over seas and far away
|
Heave away boys
|
Sea dogs sail their lives away
|
Heave away boys
|
|
Creaky decks and ruthless men
|
Ruled by the lash where some met their end
|
The old world was new in all directions then
|
Conquered by a few at the loss of so many
|
|
Over seas and far away
|
Heave away boys
|
Sea dogs sail their lives away
|
Heave away boys
|
|
Over seas and far away
|
Heave away boys
|
Sea dogs sail their lives away
|
Heave away boys
|
|
¡°Crusty beards and bloodshot eyes
|
Squint up at the sun
|
Horizons hold fast and seduce the sea dogs over
|
Some live to tell tall tales
|
And some never returned
|
Leaving only their dreams
|
Carried by the sea¡±
