Heave away me bully boys
Way-ay heave away
Why don't ye make some noise boys
Round the bay of Mexico.
Heave away and around goes she
Way-ay heave away
Six for you and seven for me
Round the bay of Mexico
Heave around an' with a will
Way-ay heave away
If she don't go she'll stay there still
Round the bay of Mexico.
Heave away for she's trimmed light
Way-ay heave away
Bend you backs if you want to sleep tonight
Round the bay of Mexico

He has been told that for this effort he is a remarkable man.
