Hejo, Hejo - Gin Und Rum
Udo Jürgens
Hejo, Hejo - Gin and Rum
(Hejo hejo gin and rum)
(Don't knock over a sailor)
(But when a red mouth laughs at you)
(Hejo hejo then be careful)
Blacky Mackie and Jacky were a team
Black the Captain Mac the cook and Jack the helmsman
Sailed across seven seas had no wife
Because they knew one thing for sure
(Hey, hey, hey hejo hejo gin and rum)
(Don't knock over a sailor)
(But when a red mouth laughs at you)
(Hejo hejo then be careful)
In Jamaica there is not only rum
Beautiful girls beautiful girls walk around there
Jack found a cute little girl who kept him there
And so only two remained on board
In Alaska it is mostly cool
But in Rio the nights are humid
And when the Cha-Cha was performed, Mackie lost his heart
Blacky remained all alone full of pain
(Hey, hey, hey hejo hejo gin and rum)
(Don't knock over a sailor)
(But when a red mouth laughs at you)
(Hejo hejo then be careful)
Blacky Mackie and Jacky were a team
Black the Captain Mac the cook and Jack the helmsman
Blacky now travels around the world all alone
His great love remains the sea
(Hey, hey, hey hejo hejo gin and rum)
(Don't knock over a sailor)
(But when a red mouth laughs at you)
(Hejo hejo then be careful)
