Follow Her Down by Lizzy Hardingham
Come all you bold sailors where ‘er you may be
For now we will sing of your time on the sea
The fiercest for which no one would thank
Are hugging the poles like a cold icy blanket
​
Yo ho, follow her down
Yo ho, follow her down
​
Captain Diaz was the first of his kind
Searching the sea for a new land to find
Setting a course for the cape of good hope
The toughest of journeys the shortest of rope
​
Yo ho, follow her down
Yo ho, follow her down
​
500 years it would take to find land
Going one knot beyond the preceding man
Crunching as your boots stepped ashore
In search of a south they had ne’er seen before
​
Yo ho, follow her down
Yo ho, follow her down
​
When the ice melts oh how waves do entrance
The ripples of sunlight beginning to dance
Growing the green from deep in the blue
And cycles of cycles are bound to ensue
​
Yo ho, follow her down
Yo ho, follow her down
