Intro
x2
Well, out through the narrows, we'll sail for wide ocean,
Leaving the harbour for forces un- seen;
Anxiously waiting for the big catch to follow,
And the big thrash that churns up the sea.
Chours:
* Sail on Theresa Maria,
Bring home the sailors and the catch in your hold;
* Trust in hands there to guide you,
Hold up your end now and cut through the sea;
I've faith in the captain and thee.
The cold North Atlantic will gladly destroy you,
She'll whip up her winds, and her waters a- boil;
She'll call on the sea witch to rip off our hatches,
And sweep us all off to the sea.
Chours:
* Sail on Theresa Maria,
Bring home the sailors and the catch in your hold;
* Trust in hands there to guide you,
Hold up your end now and cut through the sea;
I've faith in the captain and thee.
Interlude
The sea witch would cackle as she sends ice to blind you,
She'll call on the water to sink you right down;
And then from out of her pocket she'll pull out her mitre,
And dance on our heads till we drown.
Chours:
* Sail on Theresa Maria,
Bring home the sailors and the catch in your hold;
* Trust in hands there to guide you,
Hold up your end now and cut through the sea;
I've faith in the captain and thee. Dear Lord!
Chours:
* Sail on Theresa Maria,
Bring home the sailors and the catch in your hold;
* Trust in hands there to guide you,
Hold up your end now and cut through the sea;
I've faith in the captain and thee.
