lyrics

CATCH THE LIGHT, SAIL AT NIGHT
IT’S OFF TO SEA WE GO
LOAD THE DECKS, SHAVE THE NECKS
IT’S TIME TO HAUL THE LINE
IT’S TIME TO HAUL THE LINE

SEE THE LIGHTERS RUNNING
THE WAREHOUSE MILL IS BUZZING
THE COURTHOUSE RULING’S A COMING
IT’S TIME TO HAUL THE LINE
IT’S TIME TO HAUL THE LINE

SYDNEY BOUND, WE’RE OFF TODAY
WE’RE DRIFTING OFF TO SEA
HE MADE THE CALL, AND FED US ALL
JOHN WILL DROWN US ALL
YES JOHN WILL DROWN US ALL

THROUGH THE NIGHT, THE SAILS WERE TIGHT
HEAVEN KNOWS, SHE’LL BE RIGHT
JOHN WILL DROWN US ALL,
YES JOHN WILL DROWN US ALL
