In The Bar/Heave Away Songtext
von ‘Come From Away’ Original Broadway Cast

By eight o′clock,
The bar is completely packed with people from around the world.
Everybody's talking about where they′re staying and what they've seen
And the bar staff keep making runs for more beer and liquor.
After an hour, people are swimming in the river out back.
And no, no one brought their swim trunks!
A couple of the local b'ys get up with their accordions and fiddles
And someone brings out an ugly stick.


Farewell to all you pretty ladies
Waving from the dock
Heave away, me jollies, heave away
And if we do return to you
We′ll make your cradles rock
Heave away, me jolly b′ys,
We're all bound away

Farewell you Newfoundlander b′ys
You're leaving us alone
Heave away, me jollies, heave away
And if you find another
We′ve got lovers of our own

Heave away, me jolly b'ys
We′re all bound away

And then we get the karaoke going

Near... Far...

Wherever we are!

Then we decide to have a bit of a ceremony.

Let's make these people honorary Newfoundlanders
