Heave Ho Cecil

[Chorus] Heave ho, the winds did blow, Cecil crossed the seas, you know! From Africa’s shores to a cruel, new land, Fate dealt him a heavy hand. [Verse 1] He fled the chains of the slaver’s hold, But found new masters, just as cold. In cotton fields ‘neath the burning sun, He toiled ‘til the day was done. [Chorus] Heave ho, the winds did blow, Cecil crossed the seas, you know! From Africa’s shores to a cruel, new land, Fate dealt him a heavy hand. [Verse 2] The ganja’s smoke brought fleeting peace, But passion’s fire gave no release. Man and woman his heart pursued, Yet freedom’s dream was still subdued. [Chorus] Heave ho, the winds still blow, Cecil’s story the world must know! A man enslaved, but his will held fast, Through storm and sorrow, his tale will last. [Fade out] [End]
