Wolfgang Hell ADD: Bye, bye, skipper (3) ADD: Bye, bye, skipper 29 Oct 98

this is my transcription of Mike Waterson singing this song on the eponymous LP:

Bye, bye, skipper

1. Tell me, skipper, is it true
you can’t get a crew to sail with you,
bye, bye, skipper.

2. And tell me, skipper, is it right,
you can’t get a crew to sail tonight,
bye, bye, skipper.

3. Why is it? ‘Cause when we’re on deck waking,
you’re in between your blankets bloody shaking.

4. Well, pack me back, pack me grip,
but you won’t see me back here next trip,
skipper, bye bye.

Wolfgang
