I love a woman and she loves me

She belongs to the rolling sea
 A          E    A

Though she's made me many a pound

Cast her away, brave boys

Never was a finer cargo stowed
 A          E    A
(Heave and haul away)
A                                E
Kegs and bottles all locked up tight
 A

And another one to get us through the night

We filled our pockets and we never got caught

(Heave away)
A                                      E
And emptied them again at the nearest port

(Heave and haul away)

Find us a buyer and we'll find a way through

Leave it to the Maid and her fearless crew

Through the glass of a customs come
 A

Scuttle the hull, kiss the Maid goodbye
 A
(Heave away)
A                                  E
I never thought I'd see the bos'n cry
 A          E    A

Drinking all day trying to wet our legs

Though our next ship may be strong and true
 A
(Heave away)
N.C.
