Verse 1
A song now (A minor) from the sea,
a song of the great sailing ships,
many years ago of course.
It was the job of the crew
on these big ships
to climb up into the rigging
and to translate the (B major) commands
of the captain into (A minor) ac tion.
They would grab these big heavy ropes
and they would pull very hard
and the sails would slowly come
up.
In order to change course
or if it came time to weigh the anchor,
(B major) about seven or eight men would (A minor) gather around a big capstan,
a big windlass.
and they would all push very hard
yes and the anchor would slowly
come up
very strenuous and grueling work
a few years ago
I was seeking to im (B major) bue the Por
(A minor) tuguese fishermen of Cape Cod
with a natural pride in their folk heritage
I took a trip on a Portuguese fishing vessel
he went out early in the morning
when it came time to come back to port
the captain started giving orders and I
I jumped up on the boom and
I said blast the hollard
and heave (B major) away and haul (A minor) away
meet holly lads (B major) and (A minor) jib the main sail
avast well you never saw a look
on a bunch of guys faces
they said what are you hollering.
Start the engine and let's go home.
Cape Cod girls, have no cones.
Heave away, haul away. (B major)
Comb their (A minor) hair with codfish (B major) bones
and we're (A minor) bound for Australia. (B major)
(A minor) Cape Cod boys, they have no sleds.
Heave away, (B major) haul away.
(A minor) Slide downhill on codfish heads
and we're bound for Australia.
Stretch your backs and (B major) haul away,
(A minor) heave away, haul away.
We'll make port and take cof (B major) fee
and we're (A minor) bound for Aus (G major) tralia. (C major)
(A minor) Heave away my (B major) bully bully boys,
heave away, heave away,
heave away and don't you make a noise
and we're bound for Australia.
(A minor) Around the Cape in (B major) frost and (A minor) snow,
Heave away, haul away
Around the Cape we all must (B major) go
And we're (C major) bound for (B major) Australia
Heave away, my bully, bully boys
Heave away, heave away
Heave away and don't
you make a noise
And we're bound for Australia
(F major) Heave away, my (B major) bully, bully boys
Heave away, heave away
Heave (F major) away and (A minor) don't
you make a noise
And (B major) we're bound for Australia (A minor)
Yes, my boys, we're all elite
Heave away, (G major) haul (A minor) away
We'll soon be far away at (G major) sea
And we're (B major) bound for Australia
One (A minor) more pull and that'll do
Heave away, (C major) haul away
(A minor) We're the boys to pull our red (G major) crew
And we're (C major) bound for Australia (B major)
Heave away my (C major) bully bully boys,
heave away, heave away
Heave away and don't
you make a (B major) noise
And we're bound for (C major) Australia
Heave (F major) away my bully, (B major) bully boys
Heave (C major) away, heave (B major) away, (F major) heave (A minor) away
And don't you make a noise
And we're (B major) bound for Australia
(A minor) Don't you fret now,
don't you cry
Heave away, haul away
We'll return (G sharp minor) your (A minor) tears when they (B major) dry
And we're bound for Australia
I (A minor) wish to God I'd (B major) never been (A minor) born
Heave (G sharp minor) away, (B major) haul away (C major)
To (A minor) go a -ramblin' (D major) around Cape (G major) Horn,
and we're (C major) bound for Aus (B major) tralia
(C major) Heave away, my bully, bully boys,
heave away, heave away
Heave away,
and don't you make a noise,
and we're bound for Australia
(F major) Heave away, my (C major) bully, bully boys,
heave away, heave (B major) away
(F major) Heave away,
and don't you make a (A minor) noise,
and we're (B major) bound for Australia
(F major) Heave away, my (C major) bully, boys,
heave away, heave (B major) away
(F major) Heave away, (A minor) don't you make a noise
Now we're (B major) back for Australia
(G sharp minor) Heave (A minor) away, all away!
