Blowin' Like A Bandit

(album: Better Days - 1983)

Lawdy mercy land of goshen shades of gray out on the ocean
Don't you dare take that boat out to sea
For the high seas are running you will sure enough be done in
If you dare take that boat out to sea

Cause out there in the gulf the wind is blowing like a bandit
And I'm talking bout a hurricane and your rigging will not stand it
There's an ill wind a blowing you better get back to your mooring
Don't you dare take that boat out to sea
You better take a weather warning you'll be shark bait in the morning
If you dare take that boat out to sea

You better give up on that shrimping you just might come home a limping
If you dare take that boat out to sea
You better not make one more drag you're gonna wind up in a bag
If you dare take that boat out to sea

Cause out there in the gulf the wind is blowing like a bandit
And I'm talking bout a hurricane and your rigging will not stand it
Lawdy mercy land of goshen shades of gray out on the ocean
Don't you dare take that boat out to sea
For the high seas are running you will sure enough be done in
If you dare take that boat out to sea
