The Rumjacks - The terrible sea lyrics
[The Rumjacks - The terrible sea lyrics]
The wind howls mournful & low o'er
The hole in his heart
Left a note for his Mother to
Say he'd be joinin' his Da'
He said "The Devils all pissed 'cause
I danced with his daughter
I were born to be hung
So I don't fear the water
If he wants me he can chase
Me below the terrible sea"
There's a pinch of tobacco tucked into
The sleeve of his coat
And a dirty black penny to pay
The old man on the boat
He honours the rocks with a cruciform pose
Singin' "my love is like a red, red rose"
In a single explosion he's gone
To the terrible sea
The hole in his heart
Left a note for his Mother to
Say he'd be joinin' his Da'
He said "The Devils all pissed 'cause
I danced with his daughter
I were born to be hung
So I don't fear the water
If he wants me he can chase
Me below the terrible sea"
There's a pinch of tobacco tucked into
The sleeve of his coat
And a dirty black penny to pay
The old man on the boat
He honours the rocks with a cruciform pose
Singin' "my love is like a red, red rose"
In a single explosion he's gone
To the terrible sea
