1863 in Aberdeen, the port of lawless haar
Where the river Don, meets the river Dee and marry the North Sea
A blue-eyed boy stands by the shore, a price tag on his head
What a braw wee lad! Farewell yer dad, you're now a brit home child!
The pipes can mute the cries, the dice will entertain the bairns
To find the best - kidnapper's quest, and na'badie'll ever guess
A chamber in the barn- a lie sold by the quarriers' men
As of Sunday first, the boat you built will take you overseas
High-roll, away and go!
Heave away, long haul!
Way-hey! Roll and go!
Heave away! (And heave a pawl!)
Sail away! (High - roll, away and go! Heave away, long haul!)
My castaway! (Way-hey! Roll and go! Heave away and heave a pawl!)
Disease and death - hard work, no breath, 600 boys on deck
With no ID across the sea, you're stateless in the states
A hungry mouth, a tear in the eye, no hope and no escape
You're on your knees, in the colonies - abused, and whipped, and raped
White cargo, inequality, crooked navigation act
The wealthy masters, servitude, they robbed them of their youth
A letter home will never come, and what's it gonna say?
Stripped down from human rights, they won't believe you anyway
High-roll, away and go!
Heave away, long haul!
Way-hey! Roll and go!
Heave away! (And heave a pawl!)
Sail away! (High - roll, away and go! Heave away, long haul!)
My castaway! (Way-hey! Roll and go! Heave away and heave a pawl!)
It gars-me-grue
How they tried to hide the truth
In this day and age
Slavery trade is still a big taboo
History doesn't talk until it damn repeats itself
Let's act all shocked, as if we're mocked and say a little prayer
But hear me now, if one shall fight then all will follow due
So rest in peace dear Indian Pete, this one goes out to you!
High-roll, away and go!
Heave away, long haul!
Way-hey! Roll and go!
Heave away! (And heave a pawl!)
Sail away! (High - roll, away and go! Heave away, long haul!)
My castaway! (Way-hey! Roll and go! Heave away and heave a pawl!)
