mekons - shanty lyrics

Loading...

let a captain come lead us and chart us a course
through the icebergs, the fog and the hail
on the dog watch a strange fear invaded my heart
and my blood froze like rain on the sail

with a “yo” and a “ho” and there’s one thing i know
we’re not in the same boat at all
with a “yo” and a “ho” and the wind starts to blow
as we float off the edge of the world

a long list of saints will watch over me
as i’m casting my nets in the sea
a long list of saints just as long as your arm
a candle is burning for me

with a “yo” and a “ho” and there’s one thing i know
we’re not in the same boat at all
with a “yo” and a “ho” and the wind starts to blow
as we float off the edge of the world

(brendan croker now)

concrete and steel and a flame in the night
cromarty, dogger and bight
a diver gets bends when he’s pulled up too tight
all the fish can play tune on him bone

with a “yo” and a “ho” and there’s one thing i know
we’re not in the same boat at all
with a “yo” and a “ho” and the wind starts to blow
as we float off the edge of the world
we float off the edge of the world
as we float off the edge of the world
as we float off the edge of the world
