Gotta Get It Home
Gotta Get It Home -Die Streuner
Hey hi ho my love
Gotta get it home when you can
Hey hi ho my love
Gotta get it home when you can
Hey hi ho my love
Gotta get it home when you can
Hey hi ho my love
Gotta get it home when you can
Will my ship went down in a killing ground
My shipmates left me for dead
I crawled ashore to a spanish whore
And I almost lost my head
Will I made my way through the countryside
And took what I could find
I ate berries and roots and fungus flesh
And I almost lost my mind
Singin'hey hi ho my love
Gotta get it home when you can
Hey hi ho my love
Gotta get it home when you can
Hey hi ho my love
Gotta get it home when you can
Hey hi ho my love
Gotta get it home when you can
Will a missionary priest took me in for a while
Hid me in his hole
Well I drank his wine as he preached his line
And I almost lost my soul
In a spanish man oh war they held me fast
And locked me in the hold
But I broke my chains in a hansestadt
And a filled my pockets with gold
Singin'hey hi ho my love
Gotta get it home when you can
Hey hi ho my love
Gotta get it home when you can
Hey hi ho my love
Gotta get it home when you can
Hey hi ho my love
Gotta get it home when you can
Gotta get it home when you can
When I played my way to those coastal lands
Enjoying my new found wealth
In taverns and inns full of lustful sins
I'll almost lost my health
'Til the fair beguine she taught me well
I learnt to read and write
Well I lost my heart in her body and mind
And I'll stay here all my life
Singin'hey hi ho my love
Gotta get it home when you can
Hey hi ho my love
Gotta get it home when you can
Hey hi ho my love
Gotta get it home when you can
Hey hi ho my love
Gotta get it home when you can
Hey hi ho my love
Gotta get it home when you can
Hey hi ho my love
Gotta get it home when you can
Hey hi ho my love
Gotta get it home when you can
Hey hi ho my love
Gotta get it home when you can
Yeah
