[Verse]
Heave ho we got work to do
Don't ask why just heave away
When the tide is low and the moon is blue
Don't ask why just heave away
For the gale is strong and the ocean's wide
So just hang on and enjoy the ride
You'll be safe and warm on the other side
So heave away me boys

[Chorus]
Heave away me boys heave away
Heave away me boys heave away
Heave away me boys heave away
Heave away me boys

[Verse 2]
Heave ho we're going to miss the show
Don't ask why just heave away
If the cargo shifts we're going to sink below
Don't ask why just heave away
Well the Captain yells that we've run aground
The deckhands shout "All hands on deck!"
Well the tides coming in we better float it out
So heave away me boys

[Chorus]
Heave away me boys heave away
Heave away me boys heave away
Heave away me boys heave away
Heave away me boys
