Upon the My-O-My Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The decks were stacked, the wind blew low
The wind blew high
The stakes were low, the stakes were high
Upon the My-O-My

[Chorus]
Hands low, hands high
Ho-ho-ho, hi-hi-hi
Hands low, hands high
Upon the My-O-My

[Verse 2]
How was I to know she was so shy?
Upon the My-O-My
Across the light, across the night
You can hear the Captain's cry

[Chorus]
Hands low, hands high
Upon the My-O-My
Got to make her roll, got to make her fly
Upon the My-O-My

[Instrumental]

[Outro]
Now tell me, good Captain
How does it feel
To be driven away from your own steering wheel?
Upon the My-O-My
Upon the My-O-My
Upon the My-O-My
How does it feel
To be driven away from your own steering wheel?
Upon the My-O-My
Upon the My-O-My
