I love a woman and she loves [A] me Heave away!
[G#] She belongs to the rolling sea [A] Heave and haul away!
Though she's made me many a pound Heave away!
I had no choice but to cut her down Heave and haul away!
Cast her away, brave boys, we'll find another when we've [E] been paid
But [A] there'll never be another craft like the crafty old milkmaid
She was crammed with liquid gold Heave away!
Never was a finer cargo stowed Heave and haul away!
Kegs and bottles all locked up tight Heave away!
And another one to get us through the night Heave and haul away!
Cast her away, brave boys, we'll find another when [E] we've been paid
[A] But there'll never [Em] be another craft like the crafty old [A] milkmaid
We filled our pockets and we never got caught Heave away!
And entered them again at the nearest port Heave and haul away!
Find us a buyer and we'll find a way through Heave away!
Leave it to the maid and her fearless crew Heave and haul away!
Cast her away, brave boys, we'll find another when [E] we've been [C#] paid
[A]
But there'll never be another craft like the crafty old milkmaid
Through the glass all the customs come Heave [B]
away!
We'll never let the king's men steal our [A] rum Heave and haul away!
Scuttle the hulk as the maid goodbye Heave away!
I never thought I'd see the bosun cry Heave and haul away!
Cast her away, brave boys, we'll find another [E] when we've been paid
[A] But there'll never be another craft like the crafty old milkmaid
Now we're hiding in the tavern among the kegs Heave away!
Drinking all day, trying to wet our legs Heave and haul away!
Though our next ship may be strong and true Heave away!
We'll always be the milkmaid's crew Heave and haul away!
Cast her away, brave boys, we'll find another when [B] we've been paid
[A] But there'll never be another craft like [E] the crafty old milkmaid
