Hey hi ho my love gotta get it home when you can
Hey hi ho my love,
gotta get it home when you can
My ship went down in a killing ground
My shipmates left me for dead
I crawled ashore to a Spanish whore
And I almost lost my head
I made my way through the countryside
And took what I could find
Ate berries and roots and fungus flesh
And almost lost my mind
Hey hi ho my love…
A missionary priest took me in for a while
And hid me in his hole
Well I drank his wine as he preached his line
And I almost lost my soul
In a Spanish man o' war they held me fast
And locked me in the hold
But I broke my chains in a Hansestadt
And filled my pockets with gold
Hey hi ho my love…
I played my way round coastal towns
Enjoying my new found wealth
In taverns and inns full of lustful sins
I almost lost my health
A fair Beguine she taught me well
I learnt to read and write
I lost my heart in her body and mind
And I'll stay here all my life
Hey hi ho my love…
