Well, Ive drunk to drown on every ocean Ive been
Lake Tanganyika, where the crocodiles swim
Halifax, Nova Scotia to Van Diemens land
Well I drank with the Sultan down the Suez Canal
Cause every dog has its day
Like every woman, she gets her own way
And if theres a ship that sails tonight
Ill captain that, too... just to be there with you
Well there was old Jerry Rooney, who was mad as a mule
Spillblood Maloney had a head like one, too
That night on the bridge with my shovel in hand
Well he threatened to kill me Im sure he picked the wrong man
Well there was mutiny in Lagos aboard the mean ship Skondi
Ten or twelve days in prison till the bastards set me free
McCloskey, youre free
Now I love the sea, and she wants me back
So I leave this ol harbor with the wind at me back
Goodbye mother Theresa I hope the kids settle down
I must head for the Chinas Pray to God I dont drown
End on C chord
That's the whole song. Ideally you'd have drums, fiddle, and mandolin to fill
out the sound a bit, but this is a wonderful song as it is. Remember to pick up
the pace for the ending choruses, and have fun with it!
