Carleon Boat Song
What care we how white the spray is?
What care we for the wind or weather?
Let her go boys, every inch is
Bearin' homeward to Carleon.
Chorus:
Heel ya ho, boys, let her go boys
Heave her head 'round into the weather
Heel ya ho, boys, let her go boys
Sailin' homeward to Carleon
Set your eyes on the sun arisin'
Gulls and doves fill the sky with feather
Cut her loose, boys, for the horizon
We'll be home soon in Carleon
Wives are waitin' on the bank or
Lookin' seaward from the heather
Turn around, boys, and we'll anchor
'Ere the sun sets on Carleon
Wives are waitin', anticipatin'
For the end of our adventures
Don't ya cry, girls, we're returnin'
To the shores of Carleon
Ships return now, heavy laden
Mothers holdin' bairns a'cryin'
They'll return. though, 'ere the sun sets,
They'll return to Carleon.
Return to
Uncommon Valor.
