Well I've drunk to drown, on every ocean I've been
|
Lake Tanganyika, where the crocodiles swim
|
Halifax, Nova Scotia to Van Diemen's 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 there's a ship that sails tonight
|
I'll 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, for sure he picked the wrong man
|
|
Cause Every Dog Has Its Day
|
Like every woman, she gets her own way
|
And if there's a ship that sails tonight
|
I'll captain that too, just to be there with you
|
|
Well there was mutiny in Lagos, aboard the mean ship Skondi
|
Ten or twelve days in prison, till the bastards set me free
|
McCloskey you're free
|
|
Cause Every Dog Has Its Day
|
Like every woman, she gets her own way
|
And if there's a ship that sails tonight
|
I'll captain that too, just to be there with you
|
|
Now I love the sea and she wants me back
|
So I leave this ol' harbor, with the wind at my back
|
Goodbye mother Theresa, I hope the kids settle down
|
I must head for the Chinas, pray to God I don't drown
|
|
For Every Dog Has Its Day
|
Like every woman, she gets her own way
|
And if there's a ship that sails tonight
|
I'll captain that too
|
|
Cause Every Dog Has Its Day
|
Like every woman, she gets her own way
|
And if there's a ship that sails tonight
|
I'll captain that too, just to be there with you
