Poxy Boggards - Hauling for Home lyrics

In fifteen and ninety-three we headed out to sea Our crew it was 20 men strong Cathay held our destiny, spices and silk and tea Our voyage would prove to be long And with no remorse we plotted our course Around old cape horn we were bound But the sea was enraged at our arrogant display She'd see to it we'd all be drowned And it's haul boys haul Keep sailing round the horn hull crashing through the foam Haul boys haul Forever we're hauling for home The wind blew in squalls and the waves came in walls They crashed down with?(Can't make it out)? on the deck But the captain said haul so we did as we're told We had to trust him not to wreck And as I stand here I swear to you dear That we cracked up our hull on the shoals I can still hear their screams like a terrible dream As the ocean she claimed all our souls And it's haul boys haul Keep sailing round the horn hull crashing through the foam Haul boys haul Forever we're hauling for home For five hundred years I've been sailing here Manning this line at my post We sail through the storm, though our riggin' is torn We know that we've got to be close And the captain stands back, his eyes faded black Shouting commands at the crew On the darkest of nights, when the storm wins the fight Perhaps you'll be joining us too And it's haul boys haul Keep sailing round the horn hull crashing through the foam Haul boys haul Forever we're hauling for home And it's haul boys haul Keep sailing round the horn hull crashing through the foam Haul boys haul Forever we're hauling for home
