My mother told me
Someday I would buy
Galleys with good oars
Sails to distant shores
Stand up on the prow
Noble barque I steer
Steady course to the haven
Hew many foe-men
Hew many foe-men
My mother told me
Someday I would buy
Galleys with good oars
Sails to distant shores
Stand up on the prow
Noble barque I steer
Steady course to the haven
Hew many foe-men
Hew many foe-men
My mother told me
Someday I would buy (buy)
Galleys with good oars (oars)
Sails to distant shores
Stand up on the prow (prow)
Noble barque I steer
(Steady) Steady course to the haven
Hew many foe-men (Hew many foe-men)
Hew many foe-men (Hew many foe-men)
My mother told me
Someday I would buy
Galleys with good oars
Sails to distant shores
Stand up on the prow
Noble barque I steer
Steady course to the haven
Hew many foe-men
Hew many foe-men
My mother told me
Someday I would buy (buy)
(Galleys) Galleys with good oars (oars)
Sails to distant shores
Stand up on the prow (prow)
Noble barque I steer
(Steady) Steady course to the haven
Hew many foe-men (Hew many foe-men)
Hew many foe-men (Hew many foe-men)
