Maggie tied my hair
Said, Girl, don't you drift
I kissed the dock goodbye
Then I learned to shift
Hoist it up, now
Hark the rope, now
If the tide wants me
It can have me? No
Hey, ho, let's go
Sail it while the wind blows
Hey, ho, let's go
We won't sink, we won't fold
Salt in my sails
And thunder in my bones
Hey, ho, let's go
Bring the gold, bring the gold
We took a sloop at dawn
From a lord with jeweled cuffs
His men were all too proud
Till they heard our boots and ruffs
I took the wheel one hand
With a grin and a scar
And I drove that ship through black
Like a blade through tar
Hoist it up, now
Hark the rope, now
If the sea wants me
It can have me? No
Hey, ho, let's go
Sail it while the wind blows
Hey, ho, let's go
We won't sink, we won't fold
Salt in my sails
And thunder in my bones
Hey, ho, let's go
Bring the gold, bring the gold
Oh, the moon was a coin
On a dark, open palm
And the crew sang my name
Like a rough, rolling psalm
If I die on the foam
Bury me with my flame
With a bottle and a blade
And a song to my name
Hey, ho, let's go
Sail it while the wind blows
Hey, ho, let's go
We won't sink, we won't fold
Salt in my sails
And thunder in my bones
Hey, ho, let's go
Bring the gold, bring the gold
Hey, ho, let's go
Hear the deck boards groan and moan
Hey, ho, let's go
Home is where the wild waves roam
Salt in my sails
And thunder in my bones
Hey, ho, let's go
Bring the gold, bring the gold
3:25
