Sailing Song

Hey, ho, little boat
Round about the world we go
Never headed home
La de doot n’dye day!
Hey, ho, little boat
Round about the world we go
Never headed home
La de doot n’dye day!
Keep on moving 'til we stop
Name all the stars anew
Ring these islands round and round
Under the rising moon
I laugh for the freedom of a night at sea
Perilous though it may be
Secrets, name, and history
Are sure to see me through
Hey, ho, little boat
Round about the world we go
Never headed home
La de doot n’dye day!
Keep on moving 'til we stop
Here is my dress, my sail
No longer locked upon the land
But free on the rolling waves
I’ll ring these islands round and round
Gonna tear the lonely places down
Following the violet current now
It’s easy to be brave!
Hey, ho, little boat
Round about the world we go
Never headed home
La de doot n’dye day!
Hey, ho, little boat
Round about the world we go
Never headed home
La de doot n’dye day-ay!
Sharks and shoes and lantern glow
Help me search for those I know
Down in the dark where the waves won’t go
I’m bound to find my way
I’ll ring these islands round and round
Gonna tear the lonely places down!
Riding the violet current now
It’s easy to be brave!
Hey, ho, little boat
Round about the world we go
Never headed home
La de doot n’dye day!
Hey, ho, little boat
Round about the world we go
Never headed home
La de doot n’dye day
La de doot n’dye day
La de doot n’dye day
La de doot n’dye day!
