Heave Away Me Johnnies

Lyrics courtesy www.sailorsongs.com
As I was walked down the Landing Stage all on a Summer's morn
Heave away, my Johnny, Heave Away
It's there I spied an Irish girl, a-looking all forlorn
And away my Johnnie boys, we're all bound to go
Oh, good morning, Mr. Tapscott Good morning, my girl says he
Heave away, my Johnny, Heave Away
Have you got a packet ship to carry me across the sea
And away my Johnnie boys we're all bound to go
Oh yes I have a clipper ship she's called the Henry Clay
Heave away my Johnny Heave Away
She sails today for Boston Bay she sails away at break of day
And away my Johnnie boys we're all bound to go
Oh will you take me to Boston Bay when she sails away at break of day
Heave away my Johnny Heave Away
I want to marry a Yankee boy and I'll cross the sea no more
And away my Johnnie boys we're all bound to go
