| We set sail at half-past morn
|
| Looking for a new tomorrow
|
| Don’t know when we’re coming home
|
| So we’ll drink, and we’ll dance
|
| And we’ll drown our sorrow!
|
| Weigh-hey! |
| Hey Laddie Hey!
|
| Weigh, hey, hey!
|
| We’ll drink the night away!
|
| Now, I don’t know what there lies in store
|
| But it’s better than this
|
| That’s why I’m willing
|
| To stake my claim on a foreign shore
|
| Whit me spoons, and me fiddle
|
| And half a shlling!
|
| Weigh-hey! |
| Hey Laddie Hey!
|
| Weigh, hey, hey!
|
| We’ll drink the night away!
|
| I dreamt a place
|
| I know it’s true
|
| Where the dolphins play and it’s always sunny
|
| The girls are brown and the ocean blue
|
| Less work to do
|
| But you make more money!
|
| Weigh-hey! |
| Hey Laddie Hey!
|
| Weigh, hey, hey!
|
| We’ll drink the night away!
|
| I must be off by morning’s light
|
| I can hear our bo’sun’s whistle blowing
|
| So its one more kiss
|
| And one more fight
|
| And one more song while the beer is flowing!
|
| Weigh-hey! |
| Hey Laddie Hey!
|
| Weigh, hey, hey!
|
| We’ll drink the night away!
|
| When the sky is grey
|
| Look out to sea
|
| When the waves are high and the light is dying
|
| Well raise a glass and think of me…
|
| When I’m home again
|
| Boys, I’ll be buying!
|
| Weigh-hey! |
| Hey Laddie Hey!
|
| Weigh, hey, hey!
|
| We’ll drink the night away!
|
| Weigh-hey! |
| Hey Laddie Hey!
|
| Weigh, hey, hey!
|
| We’ll drink the night away!
|
| Weigh-hey! |
| Hey Laddie Hey!
|
| Weigh, hey, hey!
|
| We’ll drink the night away!
|
| Weigh-hey! |
| Hey Laddie Hey!
|
| Weigh, hey, hey!
|
| We’ll drink the night away! |
