Heave Away, Boys
The Majestic Twelve

The Luna was loaded by MondaynMadder, rum, lumber and limenAs her masts swing past Currituck InletnThe lookout slowly waves Carolina goodbyenDay by day they sail steadily onwardnReach the Bahamas, and head back for homenThe wind starts to sprawl on the 21st morningnThe Luna starts to yaw, as the bosun's voice boomsnncalling, Pull boys, for our sons and our daughtersnOur wives pace the widow's walk 'til SpringnBut with patience and tide, and a westerly windnAnd with God on our side, we'll get home boysnSo pull through the weather, wet canvas and leathernAnd no new songs to singnBut with courage and pride, and a break in this stormnAnd with God on our side, we'll get homennWeston Burr hails from Bristol, Rhode IslandnRan off to sea at the age of thirteennOn schooner and sloop from Nantucket to SydneynWalking with the strength of all the places he's seennAs the troughs deepen quickly and rumblenAnd the bilge water creeps ankle deepnWeston just smiles at the younger men, laughingnIt's just another storm, he says,nAs he wrestles the sheet and calls out,nnPull boys, for our sons and our daughtersnOur wives pace the widow's walk 'til SpringnBut with patience and tide, and a westerly windnAnd with God on our side, we'll get home boysnSo pull through the weather, wet canvas and leathernAnd no new songs to singnBut with courage and pride, and a break in this stormnAnd with God on our side, we'll get homennWe were out fishing drum in SeptembernCruising just north up from Flying Pan ShoalsnThe gale seemed to crawl right up out of the oceannAlex cut lines and we headed for homenWe all lost our breath as Her bow plunged past starboardnTwo hundred years since The Luna went downnStill manned with 112 seaman and Weston Burr's howling corpsenUnaware that he'd drownednncalling, Pull boys, for our sons and our daughtersnOur wives pace the widow's walk 'til SpringnBut with patience and tide, and a westerly windnAnd with God on our side, we'll get home boysnSo pull through the weather, wet canvas and leathernAnd no new songs to singnBut with courage and pride, and a break in this stormnAnd with God on our side, we'll get home
