Die Streuner - Gotta get it home lyrics

Hey hi ho my love gotta get it home when you can Hey hi ho my love, gotta get it home when you can My ship went down in a k**ing ground My shipmates left me for dead I crawled ashore to a Spanish who*e And I almost lost my head I made my way through the countryside And took what I could find Ate berries and roots and fungus flesh And almost lost my mind Hey hi ho my love… A missionary priest took me in for a while And hid me in his hole Well I drank his wine as he preached his line And I almost lost my soul In a Spanish man o' war they held me fast And locked me in the hold But I broke my chains in a Hansestadt And filled my pockets with gold Hey hi ho my love… I played my way round coastal towns Enjoying my new found wealth In taverns and inns full of lustful sins I almost lost my health A fair Beguine she taught me well I learnt to read and write I lost my heart in her body and mind And I'll stay here all my life Hey hi ho my love…
