CHORUS

Keep an eye on the wind and an eye on the weather

And the devil take them what’s left behind

In the grumbling months when the weak ones die (Hi Ho, an eye on the weather)

In the grumbling months when the weak ones die (Hi Ho, an eye on the weather)
They die unshriven and they don’t go to heaven

CHORUS

The moon is full, her belly swells (Hi Ho, an eye on the weather)

The moon is full, her belly swells (Hi Ho, an eye on the weather)
But here below we’re as hungry as hell

CHORUS

The shark he wheels and he waits to feed (Hi Ho, an eye on the weather)

The shark he wheels and he waits to feed (Hi Ho, an eye on the weather)
But he won’t find a mouthful of meat on me

CHORUS

The waves do roll and run ashore (Hi Ho, an eye on the weather)

The waves do roll and run ashore (Hi Ho, an eye on the weather)

And it's hell if they carry me overboard

CHORUS

And if we make land as living men (Hi Ho, an eye on the weather)

And if we make land as living men (Hi Ho, an eye on the weather)
I swear that I’ll never set sail again
