[Verse 1] Who’ll till the row when the sun’s still low? Crew: Raise the hoe and heave! Who’ll face the dawn when the cold winds blow? Crew: Raise the hoe and heave! The furrows run and the day begins, With calloused hands and worn-out grins, We’ll work ‘til night and start again— All: Raise the hoe and heave! [Chorus – Full Crew Chant] Raise the hoe and heave, me boys, Raise the hoe and heave! The earth still hums her stubborn noise, So raise the hoe and heave! [Verse 2] The sweat runs thick, the soil’s alive, Crew: Raise the hoe and heave! The crow still sings, the bees still thrive, Crew: Raise the hoe and heave! We plant our hopes where roots run deep, We sow the dreams our hearts will keep, And pray the harvest doesn’t sleep— All: Raise the hoe and heave! [Chorus] Raise the hoe and heave, me boys, Raise the hoe and heave! The earth still hums her stubborn noise, So raise the hoe and heave! [Bridge – Slower, proud and unified] When sea calls land and land calls sea, We’ll answer both in unity, For sweat and storm made you and me— So raise the hoe and heave! [Final Chorus – All hands, loud and rolling] Raise the hoe and heave, me boys, Raise the hoe and heave! Through mud or tide, we make our choice— To raise the hoe and heave! (Outro – rhythm fades to the sound of wind and gulls) Raise the hoe and heave… Raise the hoe and heave…
