Hi-oh,
hi-oh,
this is the story about the old Bounty,
a ship on the deep blue sea.
Thule was the captain and all men
aboard were kept down by his tyranny.
Bounty was bound for Trinity,
the island far away in the Southern Sea.
But on this voyage the captain's
behaviour led the crew to the mutiny.
Hi-oh,
Bligh was his name,
he was a clever and his to blame,
and ever as long as ships are sailing on
the sea will the story of the Bounty die.
Hi-oh,
hi-oh,
young Mr. Christian the Mate was the
man who decided to put things right.
He forced the captain away from the
ship in a boat at the end of the night.
Just with a handful of men Captain Bligh
had to row a thousand miles or more.
But on the gangway he scored his
revenge if he ever got safely ashore.
Hi-oh,
Bligh was his name,
he was a devil and his to blame,
and ever as long as ships are sailing on
the sea will the story of the Bounty die.
Hi-oh,
hi-oh,
sad is the story about the old Bounty,
the ship on the deep blue sea.
Somewhere she lies and remembers the
men who just wanted to live and be free.
Young Mr. Christian was chased as an outlaw,
condemned till the day he died.
Many a man had to live out his life on a rope on a mast so high.
Hi-oh,
Bligh was his name,
he was a devil and his to blame,
and ever as long as ships are sailing on
the sea will the story of the Bounty die.
Hi-oh, Bligh was his name,
he was a devil and his to blame,
and ever as long as ships are
sailing on the sea will the story of the Bounty die.
