Spoken by Jerry Jeff:
Well, there I am in Mexico, man,
I'm sittin' on a big hot rock------with the blues,
Watchin' this sailboat drive by, and I'm wonderin', "Where's mine?"
Hell, I know where there's ship in a bottle,
I mean a schooner with a worm on board, yeah.
I think I'm gonna go off sailing
I think I'm gonna go off sailing
bass line:
I think I'm gonna go off sail ing
Gflat
Cause I've been on dry land too long
Something I seen here seems to make me seasick
Something I seen here seems to make me seasick
bass line:
Something I seen here seems to make me sea sick
And I been on dry land too long
(Roll on)
Leeches, land sharks, octopusses make my bwain hurt
Land sharks, octopusses make my bwain hurt
Yea, and I've been on dry land too long
(Ship in a bottle)
(Sail on, sail on)
(Let's carry on)
(I need a ship in a bottle)
