A rousing song to help easing up on the hard working life of a porter. Traditionally sung by the workers of the Bontanoli Trading House in northern Medec.

Yo ho, yo ho, a porter's life for me.
We stack and we backpack,
we carry, and claim,
Heave up, me 'earties, yo ho.

We freight and we shoulder
and don't give a dime,
Heave up, me 'earties, yo ho.

Yo ho, yo ho, a porter's life for me.

We lift,
we portage,
we shift,
and fetch,
Heave up, me 'earties, yo ho.

Transport and transfer,
and even lift thatch!
Heave up, me 'earties, yo ho.

Yo ho, yo ho, a porter's life for me.

We lift things and drop,
lug and convoy,
Heave up, me 'earties, yo ho.

We flex our muscles,
we're really no boys,
Heave up, me 'earties, yo ho.

We're porters,
bearers,
pack rats,
and runners,
Heave up, me 'earties, yo ho.

We're couriers and shippers,
real funners,
Heave up, me 'earties, yo ho.

Yo ho, yo ho, a porter's life for me.

We're bagmen and mule prodders,
ne'er-do-well cads,
Heave up, me 'earties, yo ho.

Aye, but we're loved by our mommies and dads!
Heave up, me 'earties, yo ho.
