Storm Seeker - Pump Shanty

They say life has its ups and downs
That really now is quite profound
I like to push the capstan round
But it's pump me boys before we drown

Pump, me boys, pump her dry
Down to hell, and up to the sky
Bend your backs and break your bones
We're just a thousand miles from home

A wiser man than I once spoke
That life at heart is all a joke
But he was not embroiled in smoke
So it's pump, me boys, before we choke

Pump, me boys, pump her dry
Down to hell, and up to the sky
Bend your backs and break your bones
We're just a thousand miles from home

The ocean's all we do adore
So come on lads let's pump some more
Don't worry if you're stiff and sore
I'm sure we've pumped this bit before

Pump, me boys, pump her dry
Down to hell, and up to the sky
Bend your backs and break your bones
We're just a thousand miles from home

There's so much water down below
Just how it got there I don't know
The old man says, Let's roll and go
But I think we're bound for Davy Jones

Pump, me boys, pump her dry
Down to hell, and up to the sky
Bend your backs and break your bones
We're just a thousand miles from home

Sometimes when I am in me bed
And thinking of me day ahead
I wish that I could wake up dead
But pumping's all I get instead

Pump, me boys, pump her dry
Down to hell, and up to the sky
Bend your backs and break your bones
We're just a thousand miles from home
