Stand to the helm and steer her well Through wave and stormy weather Cause the calm will come soon enough And we’ll make land together Singing yo ho ho It’s far we go Upon the deep blue ocean A yo ho ho hi ho It’s a yo ho ho hi ho Even though the sails are old and torn And decks and timbers rotten We’ll bring her home through the sandy bar And we’ll not be long forgotten We’ve brought her round the old Cape Horn And sailed the calm sargasso Crossed seven seas to see the world From Cape Town to el passo Singing yo ho ho It’s far we go Upon the deep blue ocean A yo ho ho hi ho At its yo ho ho hi ho So do not fear my gentle love Our legs are strong and sturdy We’ll climb aloft and set the sails a flying like a birdy And when at last we see dry land Away on the horizon We’ll do a jig upon the deck As we see the sun arising Singing yo ho ho It’s far we go Upon the deep blue ocean A yo ho ho hi ho Yes it’s a yo ho hi hi ho Singing yo ho ho It’s far we go Upon the deep blue ocean A yo ho ho hi ho Yes it’s a yo ho hi hi ho Come on all you pirates Singing yo ho ho hi ho Yo ho ho yo ho ho (Instrumental)
