about

leaky apartment sea shanty

lyrics

Oh scurry on ye scurvy rats, yer supper’s in the hold
Away hey hey and the bilgewater flows
A fearsome storm’s a-blowin’ and me hands are freezin’ cold
Away hey hey and the bilgewater flows
From the fog of San Francisco to the shores of Adelaide
Aye we’ve fought a thousand currents and been soaked a million ways
And I'd rather drown me sorrows in some swarthy bonny lass
Away hey hey and we huddle by the mast

Oh many nights have passed me since the last me socks were dry
Away hey hey and the bilgewater flows
Half the puddle's from this leaky tub, the rest all from the sky
Away hey hey and the bilgewater flows
They sold this ship for sailin’ all the way to distant lands
But the scallywags what built her should prepare to catch me hands
No buxom barmaid wants a man what smells of Obra Dinn
Away hey hey and the ocean’s seepin’ in

I’m countin’ down the days till we’re headed back to shore
Away hey hey and the bilgewater flows
Me cabin’s full of nothin’ but standin’ water and heaps o’ porn
Away hey hey and the bilgewater flows
Back home I miss the women and all their cheeky bums
And the pubs work t’rough the night pourin’ racks and racks o’ rum
Oh I’ll drink down all yer liquor, and me bedroom floor is dry
Away hey hey and I’ll see ye t’rough the night
