"Challenge The Sea" lyrics

I bid ye not to challenge the sea
Don't taunt her with your whistling
She give naught care a sailor's plea
The wind is always listening

(Heave ho) All hands
(Look out below) Trim the sails
(The wind, she blows) Avast ye whistling
For leeward she is furled
(Heave ho) All hands
(All hands below) Dead reckoning
(The waves, they grow) Don't wake the sleeping beast
Or find yourselves between the devil and the deep

Now off the cape a galley did roll
(A galley did roll)
(A galley did roll)
Nor'easter gales into the shoals
Accursed to run the ship a-ground
Awakened by a whistling sound

(Heave ho) All hands
(Look out below) Trim the sails
(The wind, she blows) Avast ye whistling
For leeward she is furled
(Heave ho) All hands
(All hands below) Dead reckoning
(The waves, they grow) Don't wake the sleeping beast
Or find yourselves between
(Dare challenge the sea)
(Dare challenge the sea)
(Dare challenge the sea)

Maria (Maria)
Maria (Maria)
I tried to come home
But the seas have no mercy
Maria (Maria)
Maria (Maria)
I gave you my word
But the wind was cursed

(Heave ho)
(Look out below)
(The wind she blows) Avast ye whistling
For leeward she is furled
(Heave ho)
(All hands below)
(The waves, they grow) Don't wake the sleeping beast
Or find yourselves between

(Heave ho) All hands
(Look out below) Trim the sails
(The wind, she blows) Avast ye whistling
For leeward she is furled
(Heave ho) All hands
(All hands below) Dead reckoning
(The waves, they grow) Don't wake the sleeping beast
Or find yourselves between
(Dare challenge the sea)
(Dare challenge the sea)
(Dare challenge the sea)
The devil and the deep
