Testo My Mother Told Me - Matthew K. Heafy

My Mother Told Me

My mother told me
Someday I would buy
A galley with good oars
Sail to distant shores
Stand upon the prow
Noble barq I steer
Steady course to the haven
Hew many foe-men

My mother (Hey!) told me (Hey!)
Someday I (Hey!) would buy (Hey!)
A galley with (Hey!) good oars (Hey!)
Sail to distant (Hey!) shores (Hey!)
Stand upon (Hey!) the prow (Hey!)
Noble barq (Hey!) I steer (Hey!)
Steady course (Hey!) to the haven (Hey!)
Hew many (Hey!) foe-men (Hey!)
If i had a heart i could love you (Hey!) (Hey!)
If i had a voice i would sing (Hey!) (Hey!)
After the night when i wake up (Hey!) (Hey!)
I'll see what tomorrow brings (Hey!)

Haaaaa-aaaaa-aaaaaa (Hey!)

Haaaaa-aaaaa-aaaa (Hey!)

Haaaaa-aaaaa-aaaaaa
[Stand upon the prow. Noble barq I steer]

If i had a voice i would sing
[Steady course to the haven. Hew many foe-men]

My mother (Hey!) told me (Hey!)

Steady course (Hey!) to the haven (Hey!)
Hew many (Hey!) foe-men (Hey!)

Steady course to the haven
Steady course to the haven
Hew many foe-men
Hew many foe-men
