The Girls of Derry |
| There’s some who say a Sailor’s life is full of sport and leisure |
| Just a grand old time upon the raging main. |
| But boys the work is tough and there’s little time for pleasure |
| When you’re fighting rummeling seas and hurricanes. |
| So heave away! |
| (Heave away!) Haul away! |
| (Haul away!) |
| The anchor’s weighed, the course it set, and now we’re homeward bound! |
| Heave away! |
| (Heave away!) Haul away! |
| (Haul away!) |
| Tonight we’ll be a dancing with the girls of Derrtyown! |
| The captain and the crew are well seasoned on the ocean, |
| So what care we for weather rain or shine? |
| Our ship is sound and sure, and when she’s in full motion, |
| There’s not a faster clipper on the line! |
| So heave away! |
| (Heave away!) Haul away! |
| (Haul away!) |
| The anchor’s weighed, the course it set, and now we’re homeward bound! |
| Heave away! |
| (Heave away!) Haul away! |
| (Haul away!) |
| Tonight we’ll be a dancing with the girls of Derrtyown! |
| We’ve sailed to South America, New Zealand and Australia, |
| To Halifax, New York and Baltimore. |
| Can never report of call. |
| Sure we’ve stories to regail ya'. |
| For on the shore we likes to rant and roar! |
| So heave away! |
| (Heave away!) Haul away! |
| (Haul away!) |
| The anchor’s weighed, the course it set, and now we’re homeward bound! |
| Heave away! |
| (Heave away!) Haul away! |
| (Haul away!) |
| Tonight we’ll be a dancing with the girls of Derrtyown! |
| So heave away! |
| (Heave away!) Haul away! |
| (Haul away!) |
| The anchor’s weighed, the course it set, and now we’re homeward bound! |
| Heave away! |
| (Heave away!) Haul away! |
| (Haul away!) |
| Tonight we’ll be a dancing with the girls of Derrtyown! |
| We’re sailing up Loch Voil. |
| Thank God the journey’s ended. |
| There’s lassies waiting there at Derry’s quay! |
| We’ve money for to spend and girls to help us spend it. |
| We’ll live like kings until we sail away! |
| So heave away! |
| (Heave away!) Haul away! |
| (Haul away!) |
| The anchor’s weighed, the course it set, and now we’re homeward bound! |
| Heave away! |
| (Heave away!) Haul away! |
| (Haul away!) |
| Tonight we’ll be a dancing with the girls of Derrtyown! |
| So heave away! |
| (Heave away!) Haul away! |
| (Haul away!) |
| The anchor’s weighed, the course it set, and now we’re homeward bound! |
| Heave away! |
| (Heave away!) Haul away! |
| (Haul away!) |
| Tonight we’ll be a dancing with the girls of Derrtyown! |
