Now we are ready to head for the Horn Way hey, roll and go! Our boots and our clothes, boys, are all in the pawn Timme rollickin’ randy dandy-o! Chorus (repeated after each verse): Heave a pawl, o heave away Way hey, roll and go! The anchor’s on board and the cable’s all stored Timme rollickin’ randy dandy-o! Man the stout capst’n and heave with a will But soon we’ll be driving her ‘way down the hill Heave away, bullies, you parish-rigged bums Take your hands from your pockets and don’t suck your thumbs I thought I heard the old man say Just one more pull, lads, and then we’ll belay Roust ‘er up, bullies, the wind’s drawing free Let’s get the gladrags on and drive ‘er to sea We’re outward bound for Vallipo Bay Get crackin’ my lads, it’s a hell of a way. But it’s goodbye to Sally and goodbye to Sue Aye we are the lads that can kick her through And heave and pull and heave away The anchor’s aboard and the cables are stored In Blackwall Dock we’re safe and sound We’ll load up on booze till we’re outward bound And heave and pull and heave away The anchor’s aboard and the cables are stored
