Shipwreck Blues
|
|
Captain, tell your men to get on board
|
I sure see 'em just pull into another shore
|
|
I'm dreary in mind and I'm so worried in heart
|
Oh the best of friends sho' has got to part
|
|
Blow your whistle captain, so your men'll know what to do
|
Blow your whistle captain, so your men'll know what to do
|
When a woman gets dreary ain't no tellin' what she won't do
|
|
It's cloudy outdoors as can be
|
Oh it's cloudy as can be
|
That's the time I need my good man with me
|
|
It's rainin' and it's stromin' on the sea
|
It's rainin', it's stormin' on the sea
|
I feel like somebody has shipwrecked poor me
|
