Rowing With One Hand

(アルバム： Hostis Humani Generis - 2020)

Rowing with one hand hey ho
Round and round and round I go
Lassies mourn and seamen flow
Rowing with one hand hey ho

Six weeks dry without consent
They all said no so off I went
Left the ship and aimed for shore
A sturdy grip around the oar

Yo ho, hey ho hey all hands in a row
Man the pumps down below
Yo hey ho now we row
Yo ho, hey ho hey all hands in a row
Man the pumps down below
Yo hey ho now we row

Rowing in a rowing boat
A trail behind me left afloat
I'll raise the level of the sea
Enjoying my own company

One oar on the deck I stow
Frees next hand to go below
I ain't going straight for port
Of fantasies I'm never short

Yo ho, hey ho hey all hands in a row
Man the pumps down below
Yo hey ho now we row
Yo ho, hey ho hey all hands in a row
Man the pumps down below
Yo hey ho now we row

Some like rowing two and two
Or pass the ore along the crew
Others row in solitude
All dressed up or in the nude

Some go left, some go right
In circles rowing day and night
Takes a while to get us there
But timewise we are millionaires

My starboard arm as strong and grand
As nimble be my pistol hand
Greasy oil from sperm whale spleen
Keeps my leather nice and lean

Rowing with one hand hey ho
Round and round and round I go
Lassies mourn and seamen flow
Rowing with one hand hey ho

Yo ho, hey ho hey all hands in a row
Man the pumps down below
Yo hey ho now we row
Yo ho, hey ho hey all hands in a row
Man the pumps down below
Yo hey ho now we row

Yo ho, hey ho hey all hands in a row
Man the pumps down below
Yo hey ho now we row
Yo ho, hey ho hey all hands in a row
Man the pumps down below
Yo hey ho now we row

Yo ho, hey ho hey all hands in a row
Man the pumps down below
Yo hey ho now we row
Yo ho, hey ho hey all hands in a row
Man the pumps down below
Yo hey ho now we row
