laugh in care's face, and sing out, yo heave ho.
When, from ray love to part, I first weigh'd anchor,
And she was sniveling seed on the beach below,
I'd like to catch d my eyes sniv'ling too, d'ye see, to
thank her,
But I brought up my sorrow with a yo heave ho.
For sailors, though they have their jokes,
And love and fell like other folks,
Their duty to neglect must not come for to go,
So I seiz'd the capstem bar,
Like a true honest tar,
And in spite of tears and sighs, sung out yo heave ho.
