Heave Away Lyrics by Alan Doyle

Covers From Away

2021

[Verse 1]
Come get your duds in order
'Cause we're bound to cross the water
Heave away, me jollies
Heave away
Come get your duds in order
'Cause we're bound to leave tomorrow
Heave away, me jolly boys
We're all bound away

[Chorus 1]
Sometimes, we're bound for Liverpool
Moretimes, we're bound for Spain
Heave away, me jollies
Heave away
But now wе're bound for old St. John's
Where all thе girls are dancing
Heave away, me jolly boys
We're all bound away

[Verse 2]
I wrote me love a letter
I was on the Jenny Lind
Heave away, me jollies
Heave away
I wrote me love a letter
And I signed it with a ring
Heave away, me jolly boys
We're all bound away

[Chorus 1]
Sometimes, we're bound for Liverpool
Moretimes, we're bound for Spain
Heave away, me jollies
Heave away
But now we're bound for old St. John's
Where all the girls are dancing
Heave away, me jolly boys
We're all bound away

[Verse 3]
So it's farewell Nancy darling
'Cause it's now I'm going to leave her
Heave away, me jollies
Heave away
You promised that you'd marry me
But how you did deceive me
Heave away, me jolly boys
We're all bound away

[Chorus 2]
Sometimes, we're bound for Liverpool
Moretimes, we're bound for Spain
Heave away, me jollies
Heave away
But now we're bound for old St. John's
Where all the girls are dancing
Heave away, me jolly boys
We're all bound away
Heave away, me jolly boys
We're all bound away

[Verse 4]
And farewell to all you pretty ladies
Waving from the dock
Heave away, me jollies, heave away
So if we do return to you
We'll make your cradles rock
Heave away, me jolly boys
We're all bound away

[Chorus 1]
Sometimes, we're bound for Liverpool
Moretimes, we're bound for Spain
Heave away, me jollies
Heave away
But now we're bound for old St. John's
Where all the girls are dancing
Heave away, me jolly boys
We're all bound away

[Verse 1]
Come get your duds in order
'Cause we're bound to cross the water
Heave away, me jollies
Heave away
Come get your duds in order
'Cause we're bound to leave tomorrow
Heave away, me jolly boys
We're all bound away

[Chorus 2]
Sometimes, we're bound for Liverpool
Moretimes, we're bound for Spain
Heave away, me jollies
Heave away
But now we're bound for old St. John's
Where all the girls are dancing
Heave away, me jolly boys
We're all bound away

[Outro]
Heave away, me jolly boys
We're all bound away
Heave away, me jolly boys
We're all bound away
