My Mother Told Me

My mother told me
Someday I would buy
Galleys with good oars
Sail to distant shores

Stand up high in the prow
Noble barque I steer
Steady course for the haven

Hew many foe-men
Hew many foe-men

My mother told me
Someday I would buy
Galleys with good oars
Sail to distant shores

Stand up high in the prow
Noble barque I steer
Steady course for the haven

Hew many foe-men
Hew many foe-men

My mother told me
Someday I would buy
Galleys with good oars
Sail to distant shores

Stand up high in the prow
Noble barque I steer
Steady course for the haven

Hew many foe-men
Hew many foe-men

My mother told me
Someday I would buy
Galleys with good oars
Sail to distant shores

Stand up high in the prow
Noble barque I steer
Steady course for the haven

Hew many foe-men
Hew many foe-men
