about

As we sailed across the sea, the wind was all but a breeze
The ship rocked with every swell, the stench smelled like bloody hell
The captain said give up you fools. Its time you know who really rules
Your fates been sealed long ago Your babies’ cries you’ll never know
the hand that rocks them in their sleep, the morning dew on layers of green
You’re going to Americay, your memories start to fade away
Wayo, Heyo, Your memories start to fade away, Wayo, Heyo
Row, ya bastards row you got more than one line to tow
Your roots you’ll plant in our soil the whips will keep you loyal
Seven years in servitude will earn your place in our new world
but don’t think that you’re not a slave, you’re Irish, poor and quite depraved
You’ll learn right quick that freedom comes when we’ve shred your body to the bone
Welcome to Americay, your memories start to fade away
Wayo, Heyo…Your memories start to fade away, Wayo, Heyo
These shackles cut through my hand, no more I will till my land
Forsaken for someone else’s greed a deceitful cruel and unjust deed
My family and thoughts of home are gone for good, my soul they own
I’m only worth the price I fetch, don’t tow the line, my neck they’ll stretch
CHORUS
