the irish rovers - back to sea lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
the seafarin′ life, i know it right well
it’s a fool′s paradise, the truth i will tell
when you’re caught in a storm
between heaven and h+ll
you pray just to see one more morn’

[verse 2]
but likewise on land there′s hardships galore
poor innocent sailors and up sick and sore
there′s horrible things that can happen ashore
and you’ll wish that you′d never been born
yes, you’ll wish that you′d never been born
three, four

[verse 3]
in the port, we rant and roar
drink like h+ll and call for more
there’s not much trouble on the shore
for a sailor boy likе me

[chorus]
back to sea wherе we belong
away from women, wine, and song
drunk as scots and money gone
when will we ever learn

[verse 4]
on the shore, we take our lead
spendin’ money as you please
thank god it′s just a three+day leave
we couldn’t take much more

[chorus]
back to sea where we belong
away from women, wine, and song
drunk as scots and money gone
when will we ever learn
[verse 5]
all the lassies love us so
they cling to us, the whiskey flows
they have us sailors well in tow
’til we return to sea

[chorus]
back to sea where we belong
away from women, wine, and song
drunk as scots and money gone
when will we ever learn

[verse 6]
stormy seas and living gales
can make the strongest spirit fail
irish sailors hard as nails
that′s what we tell ourselves

[chorus]
back to sea where we belong
away from women, wine, and song
drunk as scots and money gone
when will we ever learn

[verse 7]
so take heed all you sailors who venture ashore
beware of the pitfalls that might be in store
with the lassies and the drinkin′
you’ll be tattered and torn
you′d be safer at sea in a storm
oh, much safer at sea in a storm
[chorus]
back to sea where we belong
away from women, wine, and song
drunk as scots and money gone
when will we ever learn

[chorus]
back to sea where we belong
away from women, wine, and song
drunk as scots and money gone
when will we ever learn

hey!
