"Heave Ho" is an old nautical term still used by sailors when doing a job in unison. An example would be hoisting heavy barrels of supplies aboard ship by using block and tackle (pulleys and ropes). The sailors would pull, but needed to all pull at the same time. Thus, the bosun's mate would cry out "heave" and the crew would get ready, then "HO" as the signal for everybody to pull together. Why "HEAVE"? Because they would be "heaving" or pulling on the line. Why "HO"? Because it's the simplest sound to make that is clear, loud, forceful, and short. {Try it yourself... Say out loud: "Heave....GO!" or "Heave...LO!" or "Heave....NOW!" or "Heave... right-this-moment!" Understand? }

Yo, heave ho! Yo, heave ho!

Once more, once again, still once more.

Now we fell the stout birch tree,

Now we pull hard: one, two, three.

Ay-da, da, ay-da!

Ay-da, da, ay-da!

Now we fell the stout birch tree.

Yo, heave ho!

Hey, hey, let's heave a-long the way,

To the sun we sing our song.

Yo, heave ho! Yo, heave ho!

Once more, once again, still once more.

As the barges float along,

To the sun we sing our song.

Ay-da, da, ay-da!

Ay-da, da, ay-da!

To the sun we sing our song.

Hey, hey, let's heave a-long the way,

To the sun we sing our song.

Yo, heave ho! Yo, heave ho!

Once more, once again, still once more.

Volga, Volga our pride,

Mighty stream so deep and wide.

Ay-da, da, ay-da!

Ay-da, da, ay-da!

Mighty stream so deep and wide.

Volga, Volga you're our pride.

Yo, heave ho! Yo, heave ho!

Once more, once again, still once more.
