lyrics

One‘s lost his leg
and the other one‘s half blind
And our captain lost his mind
Deep‘s the sea, cold and dark‘s the night
But we follow our stars above
and the moon shines bright

Yoho Yoho we keep drifting free
YohoYoho-ho-ho
Solid ground long time no see

With our promised treasure ahead
We follow every order we get and then
Three sheets to the wind,
we overflow into our sins
For as thiefs and beggars we remain
We seek brief pleasures to ease the pain
And then hoist the sails again & again

YohoYoho we keep drifting free
YohoYoho-ho-ho
With our hearts in our heads
and our minds at sea

Our storries we spin,
‘bout monsters & maremaids & men
Telling that the sun will rise again
And the waves they beat their pulse
Against our ships wooden walls
Where we stumble and fall
and no one knows the course

YohoYoho we keep drifting free
So we sing, we fight, we work & spin the wheels
Each one with a heart in need and wounds to heal
