prince of the blood – portsmouth lyrics

portsmouth lyrics
[verse 1]
in portsmouth at the harbour + afar beyond the sea
an old salt on a ton of tar + his name is georgie lee
he sailed the sea for money + while yearning for the gold
de did it in his younger life + but now he’s frail and old

[chorus]
hand me over my violin
the only sound that takes me higher
lingers like the waves on the shore
you never gonna get what you deserve

[verse 2]
a ship raised the anchor in 1853
vanished in a cloud of mist
sank on the reef of destiny
he lost two of his finders + he ho the breakers roared
a billow swept a dozen friends like playthings overboard

[chorus]
hand me over my violin
the only sound that takes me higher
lingers like the waves on the shore
you never gonna get what you deserve + no
you never gonna get what you deserve
[verse 3]
in portsmouth at the harbour + he plays the violin
young sailors in the rigging
they laugh at he’s seen
they throw him bones for a story tale
sometimes they give him bread
last night the moon had a golden ring
tonight the moon went red

[chorus]
hand me over my violin
the only sound that takes me higher
lingers like the waves on the shore
you never gonna get what you deserve + no
you never gonna get what you deserve + no
you never gonna get what you deserve
