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
