Commonly misspelled for years, resulting in many people picturing an incorrect interpretation. It is actually the nautical phrase, "A long rode to ho".
A 'rode' is a length of chain and rope that is put out from a ship to it's anchor. A long rode is required when it is windy or stormy. 'To pull a rope (or line)' on a ship is 'to ho'. Hence the term "heave ho". The crew will advance on the rope on the command "Heave" and pull on the command "Ho". If it is stormy and/or windy, the long rode to ho is hard work and takes a long time to accomplish.
Just envision a sailor saying, "It's a long rode to ho."
