"Heave Away"

Traditional arr. Roger McGuinn
© EMI Blackwood Music, Inc./Patian Music (BMI)
Album: "Roger McGuinn" - 1973

There's some is bound for New York town
And others is bound for France
Heave away me Johnnies heave away
And some is bound for the Bengal Bay
To teach them whales a dance
And away me Johnny boys we're all bound to go

Our pilot is awaitin' for
The turning of the tide
Heave away me Johnnies heave away
And one more pull and we're bound away
With a good westerly wind
And away me Johnny boys we're all bound to go

(Instrumental - 12-Strings Electric Guitar)

Farewell to you dear Kingston gals
Farewell to St. Andrews dock
Heave away me Johnnies heave away
If ever we should come back again
We'll make your cradles rock
And away me Johnny boys we're all bound to go

There's some is bound for New York town
And others is bound for France
Heave away me Johnnies heave away
And some is bound for the Bengal Bay
To teach them whales a dance
And away me Johnny boys we're all bound to go

(Instrumental Ending - Harmonica)
