lyrics

Hey hey, Upon the waves.

Well Young Johny's been drinking pretty hard since last night.
And 24 hours later he's made up his mind.
He's going back to town, going back to his love
So he stole away from his mates, jumped from deck and started swimming for the shore.

He's leaving the bluetooth.

And thinking no one would notice he slipped in through a whole in the town wall.
The place was still smouldering from the orders his father made the night before.
But then a shadow did shift and a club, a club, a club a club did swing.
And he felt the hard ground and heard people singing.
Let's string him up from the gallows pole.

Hey hey hey

Well a crowd had gathered by the time morning had broken.
Young Johny found himself stood on a cart wit a length of rope around his throat.
Then he heard the Cry of his love Lady Issabella.
She said: "stop all this madness can't you see the only way we can end this war.....
Is if I marry this boy. Do you know who he is?
It's the son of the Captain Bluetooth."

Hey hey, a life upon the waves.
