My Mother Told Me - Matthew K. Heafy

My mother told me

Someday I would buy

A galley with good oars

Sail to distant shores

Stand upon the prow

Noble barq I steer

Steady course to the haven

Hew many foe-men

My mother (Hey!) told me (Hey!)

Someday I (Hey!) would buy (Hey!)

A galley with (Hey!) good oars (Hey!)

Sail to distant (Hey!) shores (Hey!)

Stand upon (Hey!) the prow (Hey!)

Noble barq (Hey!) I steer (Hey!)

Steady course (Hey!) to the haven (Hey!)

Hew many (Hey!) foe-men (Hey!)

If i had a heart i could love you (Hey!) (Hey!)

If i had a voice i would sing (Hey!) (Hey!)

After the night when i wake up (Hey!) (Hey!)

I'll see what tomorrow brings (Hey!)

Haaaaa-aaaaa-aaaaaa (Hey!)

Haaaaa-aaaaa-aaaa (Hey!)

Haaaaa-aaaaa-aaaaaa

[Stand upon the prow. Noble barq I steer]

If i had a voice i would sing

[Steady course to the haven. Hew many foe-men]

My mother (Hey!) told me (Hey!)

Someday I (Hey!) would buy (Hey!)

A galley with (Hey!) good oars (Hey!)

Sail to distant (Hey!) shores (Hey!)

Stand upon (Hey!) the prow (Hey!)

Noble barq (Hey!) I steer (Hey!)

Steady course (Hey!) to the haven (Hey!)

Hew many (Hey!) foe-men (Hey!)

My mother told me

My mother told me

Someday I would buy

Someday I would buy

A galley with good oars

A galley with good oars

Sail to distant shores

Sail to distant shores

Stand upon the prow

Stand upon the prow

Noble barq I steer

Noble barq I steer

Steady course to the haven

Steady course to the haven

Hew many foe-men

Hew many foe-men

Haaaaa-aaaaa-aaaaaa

Haaaaa-aaaaa-aaaa

Haaaaa-aaaaa-aaaaaa
