The dead-eyed man is the man for me
He came a sailing from over the sea
Heigh ho for the dead-eyed man
Oh, May in the garden a-shelling her peas
And the birds sing gaily among the trees.
Heigh ho for the dead-eyed man
Oh, May looked up and she saw her fate
In the dead-eyed man passing by the gate
Heigh ho for the dead-eyed man
The dead-eyed man gave a fond look of love
And charmed May's heart which was pure as a dove
Heigh ho for the dead-eyed man
Oh, May in the parlour a-sitting on his knee
And kissing the boy who'd come o'er the sea
Heigh ho for the dead-eyed man
Oh, May in the garden a-shelling her peas
Now weeps for the sailor who sailed over the sea
Heigh ho for the dead-eyed man
