Oarsman's Chant

Row! Row! Bend your back!
Row into the ocean black
Say goodbye to all your mothers
Waving to you from the shore

Row! Row! Bend your back!
Pull that oar and don't look back
We sail for our fathers
Watching proudly from the shore

Row! Row! Bend your back!
Gods don't let that wind go slack
Were hunting for the riches
Waiting on some distant shore

Row! Row! Bend your back!
Our quest is done were sailing back
To all our sons and daughters
We left standing on the shore

Row! Row! Bend your back!
Row so hard the oar will crack
Into the loving arms
Of all our women on the shore
