Lonely It Be
(专辑: The Legend Of Libertalia - 2014)
In a
new world Caribbean rat hole, we enlisted a
slender mate We've sailed for months an' I
for sure had seen no lass of late But with this here slim sailor I
suspected a
slight charade His hands was lily white you see, thou I
never saw him bathe An' lonely it be, the
life at sea Ain't seen that much opportunity So think of that as I
tell me tale It's lonely as hell under sail His voice was thin, his step was light, he didn't curse an' he picked no fight An soon I
was sure of 'es secret play, never been so sure I
say I
said to meself this lad for sure, this lad fer sur'es a
lass An' I a
handsome sailor, deserves a
piece of ass An' lonely it be, the
life at sea Ain't seen that much opportunity So think of that as I
tell me tale It's lonely as hell under sail So I
made a
move by offring the
girl to relive her of her watch She giggled, an smiled an' later that night I
drank half a
bottle of scotch Now was the
time to make me move so I
lured her under deck She was warm in me arms an willing fer sure as I
kissed her ivory neck An' lonely it be, the
life at sea Ain't seen that much opportunity So think of that as I
tell me tale It's lonely as hell under sail When the
clothes were dropped, was I
in fer a
chock this sure was no girl me mate I
was wrong, an' enraged I
drew me gun to end this dreadful date As he turned and run I
reckoned though he was still a
piece of ass So I
braced meself as it dawned on me I
need no friging lass An' lonely it be, the
life at sea Ain't seen that much opportunity So think of that as I
tell me tale It's lonely as hell under sail And we tumbled around like two ships in storm He was salty an wild and warm So what is the
spirit of this here tale It don't matter much under sail
