Black Irish Band Dark Ocean
Our ships in the harbor, tomorrow at sea
Weigh ho dark ocean we roam
But the crews in the tavern all drinking with me
Weigh ho, dark ocean we roam
When then the rigging, she's singing our song
Weigh ho, dark ocean we roam
Early in the morning these boys will be gone
Weigh ho, dark ocean we row
So farewell to the risk, all the money we blew
All of the liquor and girls that we knew
We're sailing for Alaska and the cold barren sea
Where the wind makes you shiver and ropes tend to freeze
So shoot up your whiskey and drink down your beer
Weigh ho, dark ocean we roam
For Soon you'll be sportin' your foul weather gear
Weigh ho, dark ocean we roam
Pack up your blankets, your pork and your tin
Weigh ho, dark ocean we roam
And pray that the voyage returns you again
Weigh ho, dark ocean we roam
So farewell to the risk, all the money we blew
All of the liquor and girls that we knew
We're sailing for Alaska and the cold barren sea
Where the wind makes you shiver and ropes tend to freeze
The sea is a-rising, the time is now late
Weigh ho, dark ocean we roam
Says "Boys, leave the tavern and come seal your fate"
Weigh ho, dark ocean we roam
Sky is cloudy as rain makes our way
Weigh ho, dark ocean we roam
Dark is the ocean on our sailing day
Weigh ho, dark ocean we roam
So farewell to the risk, all the money we blew
All of the liquor and girls that we knew
We're sailing for Alaska and the cold barren sea
Where the wind makes you shiver and ropes tend to freeze
