Cape Cod: Lyrics

As performed by Cisco Houston

Traditional

Appears on:
Well the Cape Cod girls they have no combs,
Heave away, heave away!
They comb their hair with codfish bones,
Heave away, heave away!

Heave away, my bully bully boys,
Heave away, heave away!
Heave away, my bully bully boys,
We're bound for Australia.

Well the Cape Cod boys they have no sleds,
Heave away, heave away!
They slide down hill on codfish heads.
Heave away, heave away!

Heave away, my bully bully boys,
Heave away, heave away!
Heave away, my bully bully boys,
We're bound for Australia.

Well the Cape Cod cats they have no tails,
Heave away, heave away!
They were blown away in mighty gales.
Heave away, heave away!

Heave away, my bully bully boys,
Heave away, heave away!
Heave away, my bully bully boys,
We're bound for Australia.

Of note:

What a great finale to a delightful Side 2 of this LP.
