Well I'm just a poor cabin-boy, Tom is me name I set out from Old Portsmouth for fortune and fame But the fame it was fickle; the fortune was false Now I'm dancing with death in a one-two-three waltz Cos it's one for the crew who got sick and then died And two for the bodies tossed over the side And it's three for the sharks as they swam round the boat Now I'm wondering 'ow long this old 'ulk stays afloat So what shall I do with this rotten old wreck Should I scuttle it now and risk losing me neck It's a thousand to one I could swim for the shore Or should I sit tight and risk losing it all It's so 'ard to decide what to do for the best Cos it's heave-o, heave-o, heave-o, heave-o Heave away on the dead man's chest Well the voyage was doomed 'cause the stars were all wrong Now I'm left on me own as I sing this 'ere song I'm adrift on the ocean with no sight of land 'Cause the rudder is broke and no 'elp is at 'and Now I'm 'ere by meself 'cause they've all upped and gone I'm the captain, the first mate and crew on me own And if I should return to Old England again Never more will I sail on this cursed old main So what shall I do with this rotten old wreck Should I scuttle it now and risk losing me neck It's a thousand to one I could swim for the shore Or should I sit tight and risk losing it all It's so 'ard to decide what to do for the best Cos it's heave-o, heave-o, heave-o, heave-o Heave away on the dead man's chest Cos it's heave-o, heave-o, heave-o, heave-o Heave away on the dead man's chest
