DescriptionTranslation of lyrics from Japanese, by Kuniko and Kendall Brown:
“Pull away lads, pull away lads,
A long strong pull all together,
Pull away lads, pull away lads,
A long strong pull all together,
Now the heavy timber moves,
Now the heavy timber moves,
Pull lads together, pull lads together,
A long strong pull all together!"
“Pull away lads, pull away lads,
A long strong pull all together,
Pull away lads, pull away lads,
A long strong pull all together,
Now the heavy timber moves,
Now the heavy timber moves,
Pull lads together, pull lads together,
A long strong pull all together!"
