Helmsman Berg, he proudly steers his ship
with arms of steel and snuff under his lip
come on, gods of the sea, come meet a Swedish troll
he spits and laughs and whistles in minor
HEY AND HAY, HAY AND HAY
COME SING HEY AND HAY
Steerman Berg, he met his fate today
off Cape Horn his schooner steamed
the waves whipped and the wind howled
bone pipes snapped and Poseidon roared
HELLO AND HELL, HELLO AND HELL
COME SING HELLO AND HELL
In the deep lies his grave
he died as he was born, on the open sea
back home in Sweden, where the cabin is empty
his wife took to the knife when she heard his sentence
