Homeward Bound

Well Capitán de Elcano was once a sailor bold
He joined the fearless Fernão Magalhães
When five ships sailed to unknown lands
Two hundred thirty souls
Were all keen to join the mightiest of quests

My sailor's heart runs ever faster
Canvas set, we're homeward bound
We were roamin round and round in quest for gold! (Whooho!)
Heave away, we're going faster
We were roamin' all around
But returning home will pay us thousandfold!

My sailor's heart (Whooho!)
Set the sails were homeward bound
My sailor's heart (Whooho!)
Treasure nowhere to be found
Heave away, we're home at last
Yarrdiho ahoi avast
My sailor's heart is homeward bound

San Antonio's mutiny had cast a shadow soon
Victoria and crew still onward bound
Concepcion y Santiago, swallowed by the waves
And the Trinidad was nowhere to be found
Capitán Sebastián de Elcano survived with 18 mates
But hunger and the scurvy took their toll
He died in 1526, no nourishment nor gold
But returning home would pay him thousandfold!

My sailor's heart runs ever faster
Canvas set, we're homeward bound
We were roamin round and round in quest for gold
(Whooho!)
Heave away, we're going faster
We were roamin' all around
But returning home will pay us thousandfold!

My sailor's heart (Whooho!)
Set the sail we're homeward bound
My sailor's heart (Whooho!)
Treasure nowhere to be found
Heave away, we're home at last
Yarrdiho ahoi avast
My sailor's heart is homeward bound!

My sailor's heart (Whooho!)
Set the sail were homeward bound
My sailor's heart (Whooho!)
Treasure nowhere to be found
Heave away, we're home at last
Yarrdiho ahoi avast
My sailor's heart is homeward bound!
