My Mother Told Me (A Cappella)

My mother told me, someday I will buy

Galleys with good oars, sail to distant shores

Stand up on the prow, noble barque I steer

Steady course to the haven, hew many foe-men

Hew many foe-men

My mother told me, someday I will buy

Galleys with good oars, sail to distant shores

Stand up on the prow, noble barque I steer

(Steady) steady course to the haven, hew many foe-men

Hew many foe-men

My mother told me, someday I will buy (buy)

Galleys with good oars, sail to distant shores

Stand up on the prow, noble barque I steer

(Steady) steady course to the haven, hew many foe-men

Hew many foe-men

My mother told me, someday I will buy (buy)

Galleys with good oars, sail to distant shores

Stand up on the prow, noble barque I steer

(Steady) steady course to the haven, hew many foe-men

Hew many foe-men
