The Decemberists - East India Lanes lyrics

All hands holding tight to the wheel All hands reaching fore All hands holding tight to the wheel Bring her round, filling tight with the wind Coming down, back on the East India lane We're there, fifteen girls to a man We're there, fifteen boys We're there, fifteen girls to a man Bring her 'round, filling tight with the wind Coming down, back on the East India lane Cape Horn, devil's blowing a gale All aboard to pull us down Cape Horn will wreck and tatter the sails Bring her 'round, filling tight with the wind Coming down, back on the East India lane Haul boys the sultan promises all More gold than we can store Haul boys let your bilge sheets fall Bring her 'round, filling tight with the wind Coming down, back on the East India lane Bring her 'round, filling tight with the wind Coming down, back on the East India lane
