The Trawlerman's Song

[00:18.68] We're taking on water
[00:20.94] Diesel and stores
[00:23.18] Laying up awhile
[00:24.54] Before I'm back on board
[00:27.14] They're patching her up
[00:29.89] To go fishing again
[00:32.80] Fishing again
[00:33.95] They're welding her rudder
[00:37.95] Scrubbing her keel
[00:40.21] Scars on her belly
[00:41.93] Need time to heal
[00:44.16] In the dock
[00:47.35] With the trawlermen
[00:50.85]
[00:53.05] I know all the people
[00:55.10] There's nobody new
[00:57.76] Soon we'll be leaving
[00:59.10] With the same old crew
[01:01.39] On the green water
[01:04.86] The tumbling sea
[01:08.42]
[01:10.88] They ain't running
[01:12.07] Like the good old days
[01:14.72] Time's just slipping
[01:16.32] Down the old slipways
[01:18.58] In the dock
[01:22.06] So dear to me
[01:25.68]
[01:28.74] Dark is the night
[01:33.06] I need a guiding light
[01:35.71] To keep me
[01:37.76] From foundering
[01:39.58] On the rocks
[01:42.66]
[01:45.96] My only prayer
[01:50.55] Is just to see you there
[01:53.03] At the end
[01:54.54] Of my wandering
[01:56.90] Back in the dock
[01:59.98]
[02:27.78] I could use a layoff
[02:29.34] Getting my strength back
[02:31.79] But there's a loan to pay off
[02:33.83] And a few skipjack
[02:35.48] So it's a turnaround
[02:38.72] Back in the southerly wind
[02:42.64]
[02:45.36] Pirates coming in
[02:46.75] To steal our gold
[02:48.66] You can count yourself lucky
[02:50.72] With a profit in the hold
[02:53.05] In the dock
[02:56.43] When we come in
[02:59.96]
[03:03.02] Dark is the night
[03:07.44] I need a guiding light
[03:10.10] To keep me
[03:12.10] From foundering
[03:13.81] On the rocks
[03:16.44]
[03:20.32] My only prayer
[03:24.63] Is just to see you there
[03:27.39] At the end
[03:29.08] Of my wandering
[03:31.37] Back in the dock
[03:57.11]
