歌词
[Chorus]
Ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy (Ship ahoy, yeah)
Ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy (Ship ahoy)
[Verse 1]
As far as your eyes can see
Men, women, and baby slaves coming to the land of Liberty
Where life's design is already made
So young and so strong, they're just waiting to be saved
[PreChorus]
Lord, I'm so tired, and I know you're tired too
Look over the horizon, see the sun shining down on you
[Chorus]
Ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy (Ship ahoy, yeah)
Ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy (Ship ahoy, uh-huh)
[Instrumental]
Can't you feel the motion of the ocean
Can't you feel the cold wind blowing by?
There's so many fish in the sea
We're just, we're just, we're just, we're just
Riding on the waves
We are, we are riding on the waves
[Chorus]
Ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy (Ship ahoy, now, yeah)
Ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy
[Instrumental]
Oh, they're coming by the hundreds, coming by the thousands, too
Look over the horizon, see the sun shining down on you
[Chorus]
Ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy (My, ship ahoy)
Ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy
Ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy
Ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy
[PostChorus]
Can't you feel the motion of the ocean?
Can't you feel the cold wind blowing by
There's so many fish in the sea
We're just, we're just, we're just, we're just
Riding on the waves
We are, we are
Riding on the waves
[Chorus]
Ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy
Ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy
Ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy
Ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy
Ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy
Ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy
Ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy
Ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy
[Bridge]
Totin' that barge, yeah, you gotta lift that bail
Get a little drunk, drunk, drunk, gonna land in jail
Somebody cracked the whip
I'm your master
And you're my slave
[Outro]
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Somebody cracked the whip
You're my slave
I'm your master now
Wanna go to the land of liberty
Look over there, tell me, what do you see?
There's a man, man over there
Tell me, what do you see?
There's nothing to lose, oh, Lord
Tell me, look over there, tell me, what do you see?
Going to the land of liberty (I'm so tired)
Riding on the waves of the ocean...
