Music: Jim Fortuné
I knew a woman went to war
With a heave ho and a vest would I
and she set off for a distant shore
And she never came back home
She said it does no good to try
with such a bleak full bold in sky
but when the sun is bright and high
I will gladly set off home
If you wait for the weather the weather won't lift
It's now or never with the tavern gonna shift
Take courage
You've knew worse than this
It's time
To send you home
The couch to back and skies were fair
With a heave ho and a vest would I
But still the woman tarry there
Now they wait for wood back home
She said there's no way we will prevail
(there's no way we'll prevail)
With such a rotten deck and rotten side
(rotten side shield)
And a sail like this is doom to fail
I will never make it home
If you wait for the weather the weather won't lift
It's now or never with the tavern gonna shift
Take courage
You've knew worse than this
It's time
To send you home
The sail was patched and deck ran you
(Heave ho, heave ho )
With a heave ho and a vest would I
(Heave ho, heave ho )
The sea of brilliant shade of blue
(Heave ho, heave ho )
But she still not leave for home
(Heave ho, heave ho )
She said it fills me with such dread
(Heave ho, heave ho )
and didal feel the ocean bend
(Heave ho, heave ho )
But the thorn that killing up my head
(Heave ho, heave ho )
is I still too long for home
If you wait for the weather the weather won't lift
It's now or never with the tavern gonna shift
Take courage
You've know worse than this
Take courage
You've know worse than this
I'm here
Within you
I'm here
To see you
I'm here
To bring you home
