al duvall - for shame, captain charlie lyrics

Loading...

(al duvall, playing banjo solo and whistle, “for shame, captain charlie, edison record.)

when the county aquarium opened the doors
i’d heard that the tank drew a line
where horrible beasts had washed up on our shore
a [?] more dead than alive
from a [?] tank, there’s a hateful red eye
as i read the inscription, i must wonder why
this barnacled octopod carries your name
for shame, captain charlie, for shame

was your vessel a garbage scow piled up high?
did you fly the black flag o’еr the waves?
did you shanghai your crew and maroon thеm to die?
did you trade in molasses and slaves?
did you sneak on a lifeboat in bonnet and gown
as your shipmates and passengers slowly went down?
what meanness inspired that pitiful fame?
for shame, captain charlie, for shame
