The Lucky Sailor

[Verse] There once was a ship that put to sea The name of the ship was the Billy of Tea The winds blew up her bow dipped down Oh blow my bully boys blow [Verse 2] Soon may the wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day when the tonguin' is done We'll take our leave and go [Chorus] Heave ho the waves are high Sailin' under a boundless sky With a yo-ho-ho and a hearty cheer We'll sail away from here [Verse 3] The captain stood on the quarter deck His thoughts were keen his gaze was set With a pipe in hand and a chart to read He'd lead us through the storm indeed [Chorus] Heave ho the waves are high Sailin' under a boundless sky With a yo-ho-ho and a hearty cheer We'll sail away from here [Bridge] The sea is deep the nights are long We pull together with a song With a rope in hand and our spirits free We face the tempest joyfully
