lyrics

Tombstones and rhinestones
Treasure on the mark
Sun drums on my sails
Winds whip my mast
And the cannons fire away
Loading all day
I won’t be land hoeing
Till fears at bay from S.S. Sorrow

I know what they’ll say, it’s my fault now
Yes that’s what they say
I know what they say
That when your life is slipping overboard, “pray for me now”

See you peeping when you’re sleeping
Hoarding with one good eye
I only miss you when
You’re a thousand miles
May the waves crash down, amen
Carrying the sick and blind
‘Cause no good can come of all this
Leaving them behind for endless oceans

I know what they’ll say, it’s my fault now
Yes that’s what they say
I know what they say
That when your life is slipping overboard, “pray for me now”

If you’re leaving tomorrow
Away with your sorrows
You’re leaving a good thing behind
No, no, I don’t know
How far I will go
As far as the wind stays behind
