Heave ho, Glashtyn go
Tug the ferry to and fro
Heave ho, Glashtyn go
Down in the river below
Heave ho, Glashtyn go
Tug the ferry to and fro
Heave ho, Glashtyn go
Down to the river below
Back and forth in the barleybroom
Glashtyn revel in the silken gloom
"Lads, this tea will never do!"
Tears to turn these waters blue
Glashtyn haul away
Heave ho, Glashtyn go
Tug the ferry to and fro
Heave ho, Glashtyn go
Down in the river below
Gain adventure, give a little grief
Dark cool waters our toil and relief
Send your smiling shadow down
To call the dance in Glashtyn Town
Glashtyn, haul away
When the tithe came callin', where were you?
When the tithe comes callin', there is nothing you can do!
Haul away, haul away, haul away!
Haul away, haul away, haul away!
Heave ho, Glashtyn go
Tug the ferry to and fro
Heave ho, you must go
Down in the river below
Heave ho, Glashtyn go
Tug the ferry to and fro
Heave ho, you must go
Down in the river below
Law of trade and sacred trust
Wings all bound so none can cross
Never more than one or two
Glashtyn do as we must do
Glashtyn haul away!
Heave ho, Glashtyn go
Tug the ferry to and fro
Heave ho, a child must go
Down in the river below
Heave ho, Glashtyn go
Tug the ferry to and fro
Heave ho, a child must go
Down to the river below!
Haul away, haul away, haul away!
Haul away, haul away, haul away!
Haul away, haul away, haul away!
Haul away, haul away, haul away!
