burl ives - shanghaied lyrics
i played around in chinatown
just a+passin’ time away
when blackjack red hit me in the head
and when i woke up next day, i was many miles away
i was shanghaied on an ocean freighter
i was shanghaied eatin’ beans and taters
i was shanghaied on an ocean freighter
and i wanna get back to shore, back to the gold coast shore
they threw me off in old hong kong
put me on my own
not a penny in my pocket, ten thousand miles from home
that’s a mighty long way from home
i was shanghaied in old hong kong
i was shanghaied, i was all alone
i was shanghaied, wanna get back homе
back to the gold coast shore, back to the gold coast shorе
i worked for grub on an old dutch tub
wound up in l.a
where a pretty little girl took me on a whirl
and when i woke up next day, when i woke up next day…
i was shanghaied for the rest of my life
i was shanghaied, but that’s all right
i was shanghaied, got a pretty little wife
and i’m never leavin’ home no more, never leavin’ home no more
