Lost at Sea

I was crimped onboard of a Liverpool liner

     Tried to wave but I was drowning

My Judy said she’s wait for me

     Small splash, big sea

     One more Jack Tar on the deep blue sea

I spent three weeks on a Liverpool liner

That life it was not suiting me

I spent six months on a Liverpool liner

Those buckos had it in for me

I spent two years on a Liverpool liner

The drink it was destroying me

So many years on a Liverpool liner

That captain would not let me be

Spent all me life on a Liverpool liner

I thought the sea life suited me

Just a few more days on a Liverpool liner

Trying to wave but I’m still drowning

Small splash, big sea

My family they will welcome me

One less Jack Tar on the deep blue sea
