Hi yeo, heave away!)
A wind blew out of the east-sou’-east
And boomed at the break of day.
The “Laughing Sally” sped for her life,
And a speedy craft was she.
The black flag flew at her top to tell
How she took toll of the sea.
The wind blew up from Pernambuco;
And in the breast of the blast
Came the King’s black ship, like a hound let slip
