Heave ho, the captains call
The last glass eye that the gypsy's stole
Happy for it, just taking a stroll
Through the tall brown grass as the river unfolds
Random Clans gather on the strand
Shaking their leaves and stomping in the sand
Big black bird hanging in the sky
Stern eyed brother with a rabbit in his eye, heave ho
Heave Ho, the captains call
The broke down boat sitting quiet in the shoals
Black eye child rising silent from the coals
As the sun goes down and the night unfolds
Random clans gather on the strand
Shaking their leaves and stomping in the sand
Big black bird hanging in the sky
A stern eyed brother with a rabbit in his eye, heave ho
(Heave ho)
Round and round and round it goes
Big black bird just spinning in the coals
Round and round and round it goes
Where he's gonna, stop ain't nobody knows
(Ooh) yeah (ooh)
Round and round and round it goes
Big black bird just spinning in the coals
Round and round and round it goes
Where he's gonna stop, ain't nobody knows
Round and round and round it goes
Big black bird just spinning in the coals
Round and round and round it goes
Where he's gonna stop, ain't nobody knows
Round and round and round it goes
Big black bird just spinning in the coals
