Ocean of the Free Songtext

Heave away, heave away
On the ocean of the free
The island men set sail again
The heroes of the sea

Heave away, heave away
On the ocean of the free
The island men set sail again
The heroes of the sea

The sailers of the Hebrides
They roam the ocean breeze
Their anchor away, they work to trade
Upon the seven seas

Captains, bosuns, engineers
Their skill and craft they ply
The merchant navy island men
Are seamen ′till they die


From the harbours of Vancouver
To San Fransisco bay
Down the western coast of Chile
Now skip on and sail away

Across the South Atlantic
Through violent wind and squall
Up the coast of Madagascar
To the dark bay of Bengal

Heave away, heave away
On the ocean of the free
The island men set sail again
The heroes of the sea

Heave away, heave away
On the ocean of the free
The island men set sail again
The heroes of the sea

Three times round the world
Before turning twenty-one
Loneliness and hardship
But comradeship and fun


Tales of pilfered cargo
And wild times when ashore
From the moonshine of Alaska
To the lights of Singapore

I recall a great exitement
As the stories would unferl
Other places, other races
And a wide view of the world

These many prompted ways
Bring education to us all
An inch-ness of perspective
And a outlook never small

Heave away, heave away
On the ocean of the free
The island men set sail again
The heroes of the sea

Heave away, heave away
On the ocean of the free
The island men set sail again
The heroes of the sea

From Rio de Janero
To the gulf of Mexico
Past the warm coast of Cuba
To the frozen Arthylgall

By the Faroe islands
The northern lights will dance
Through the icy arctic waters
To the shelter of Murmansk

On the reefers and the tankers
And the great container ships
You'll always find a sailer
With Garlic on his lips

The coasters and the ferries
The supply boats and the tugs
The finest seamen of them all
The sea is in their blood

Heave away, heave away
On the ocean of the free
The island men set sail again
The heroes of the sea

Heave away, heave away
On the ocean of the free
The island men set sail again
The heroes of the sea

Heave away, heave away
On the ocean of the free
The island men set sail again
The heroes of the sea

Heave away, heave away
On the ocean of the free
The island men set sail again
The heroes of the sea

Heave away, heave away
On the ocean of the free
The island men set sail again
The heroes of the sea

Heave away, heave away
On the ocean of the free
The island men set sail again
The heroes of the sea
