My mother told me
Someday I would buy
Galleys with good oars
Sail to distant shores

My mother told me
Someday I would buy (buy)
Galleys with good oars
Sails to distant shores

Stand up high in the prow
Noble barque I steer
(Steady) Steady course for the haven
Hew many foe-men
Hew many foe-men

My mother told me
Someday I would buy
Galleys with good oars
Sail to distant shores

My mother told me
Someday I would buy (buy)
Galleys with good oars
Sails to distant shores

Stand up high in the prow
Noble barque I steer
(Steady) Steady course for the haven
Hew many foe-men

Hew
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
My
Someday
