Come here boys and heave with me, let's get off this cursed sea
Let's be home to lovers and wives and leave behind these for our lives
Four hours working on the swell, four hours slogging in the rain
Four hours working to the [F#] bell, then four hours [C#] till it starts [N] again
Come here boys and heave with me, the wind's my friend and my enemy
It carries me home but it must be tamed, everything lost or everything gained
Four hours working on the swell, four hours slogging in the rain
Four hours working to [D#m] the bell, then four hours [N] till it starts again
Come here boys and heave with me, got scabrous hands and bloody knees
But when the bell tolls I'll go below, my hands will callous and my strength will grow
Four hours working on the swell, four hours slogging in the rain
Four hours working to the [F#] bell, then four [N] hours till it starts again
Come here boys and heave away, soaked and heavy heaving under the spray
Will I ever shed this salt on my brow?
Better the dust from under my plough
Four hours working on the swell, four hours slogging in the rain
Four hours working to the bell, then [F#] four hours till it [C#] starts again
[F#] When I'm back in Bristol town I'll buy my lover a silken gown
[A#] We'll lie in each other's arms and rest [F#] until that bell sounds [Fm] in my chest
[D#] Four hours working on the swell, four hours slogging in the rain
Four hours working to [G#] the bell, [F#] then four hours till it starts [Gm] again
Four hours hauling on the sheets, four [F#] hours keeping our feet
Four hours wrap me in the shroud, then four hours [D#m] lay me [C#] in the ground
Let's be home to lovers and wives and leave behind these for our lives
Four hours working on the swell, four hours slogging in the rain
Four hours working to the [F#] bell, then four hours [C#] till it starts [N] again
Come here boys and heave with me, the wind's my friend and my enemy
It carries me home but it must be tamed, everything lost or everything gained
Four hours working on the swell, four hours slogging in the rain
Four hours working to [D#m] the bell, then four hours [N] till it starts again
Come here boys and heave with me, got scabrous hands and bloody knees
But when the bell tolls I'll go below, my hands will callous and my strength will grow
