Song | Gotta Get It Home |
Artist | Die Streuner |
Album | Hurra, Na Endlich |
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 killing ground | |
My shipmates left me for dead | |
I crawled ashore to a Spanish whore | |
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… |
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 killing ground | |
My shipmates left me for dead | |
I crawled ashore to a Spanish whore | |
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 |
