_Heave ho, away we go
Rollin faster, rollin' faster
Heave ho, away we go
The wagons roll to war._
The Armies called us to the dance
From Calon ground we now advance
Take up the sword, the spear, the lance
It's off we ride to War
_Heave ho, away we go
Rollin faster, rollin' faster
Heave ho, away we go
The wagons roll to war._
With Falcon Banner's now unfurled
Our King takes up the challenge hurled
And we prepare to leave this world
Our King must have his War
_Heave ho, away we go
Rollin faster, rollin' faster
Heave ho, away we go
The wagons roll to war._
The armour's piled deep and wide
The wagons' rock from side to side
No army stands against the tide
Of Calontir at War
_Heave ho, away we go
Rollin faster, rollin' faster
Heave ho, away we go
The wagons roll to war._
The armies clash beneath the sun
A' fore night falls they will be done
And we'll be dead or we'll have won
That's how we fight a War
_Heave ho, away we go
Rollin faster, rollin' faster
Heave ho, away we go
The wagons roll to war._
Beneath the falcon we stood fast
So on we march, this battle past
Yet still we know it's not the last
We'll win our King this War
_Heave ho, away we go
Rollin faster, rollin' faster
Heave ho, away we go
The wagons roll to war._
To foemen, heed my warning cry
Calontir is not afraid to die
So give your wife her last goodbye
We'll see 'her after/you at the' War.
_Heave ho, away we go
Rollin faster, rollin' faster
Heave ho, away we go
The wagons roll to war._
