chorus:
Way ho, me laddies!
Way ho, me lasses, too!
Way ho, all ye wretched souls aboard!
We've gone a-drifting on the ever-shifting blue
until starry skies will guide our way to shore.

verse 1:
Our life was hungry and the earth was hard and grey,
so we set a course as desperate as 'twas bold -
We turned our sights up to the stars to guide our way
'cross the sea to a new land of green and gold.

verse 2:
We laid our charts out for the land of green and gold,
stocked our ship with meager stores to last the journ'.
We set to sea and with a westward wind we rolled,
'til our ship was thrown off course one wintry morn.

verse 3:
'Twas thick, the fog that fell upon our lot that morn,
with a wicked wind that chilled us to the bone.
And through the evening rang the ship's bell out to warn - 
we were drifting blind in fog as grey as stone.

verse 4:
Four nights have passed in fog as chill and grey as stone.
Damn the veil it cast, and damn the cold it bore!
We may be lost, but hell at least we're not alone,
as we watch and pray for starry skies once more.

ending:
So, way ho, for those starry skies will guide our way to shore.

Way Ho!
