Old Fat Boat (Mattapoisset Harbor Inventory) So, here I am, man, all alone again, Anchored away the hell and gone again. Another mile from another town, The wind Northeast n' the rain coming down. Home is the sailor, home from the sea; He's a home for the mildew, a friend to the flea. I don't care, man, I'm happy.
Hard in the chine and soft in the transom. I love her well; she must love me, But I think it's only for my money. And I don't mind staying, and I don't mind going, But I some damn tired of rowing. I'm sprung in the back and lame in the knees. It's a damned good thing I'm easy to please; There ain't nothing in town on a Sunday. I don't care, man, I'm happy.
I got home-made bread, a little old, but nice. Everybody puts their cooking hat on When you tell 'em you're leaving in the morning.
I got the beans and the beans got me. I got tuna fish, I got rum, I got a two pound splinter in my thumb. So I'll take my toddy and my vitamin C And the radio for my company. Oh, me. I got the hydrogen peroxide blues. I don't care, man, I'm happy.
If half the fun of going is getting there, Mercy, Percy, you better start rowing, 'Cause the other half of getting there is going. Allinkausay, Bill |
