The blackbird sang unto our crew
Ch: Hi-lo boys, Hi-lo
The blackbird sang unto our crew
Ch: Oh Hi-lo somebody Hi-lo
The blackbird sang so sweet to me
The blackbird sang so sweet to me
We sailed away to Mobile Bay
We sailed away to Mobile Bay
And now we're bound for London Town
And now we're bound for London Town
Then up aloft this yard must go
Then up aloft this yard must go
I thought I heard the old man say:
"Just one more pull, and then belay."
Hooray my boys, we're homeward bound
Hooray my boys, we're homeward bound
The blackbird sang unto our crew
The blackbird sang unto our crew
