radriano	Lyr Add: Georgie, Me Neck A-Broke (3)	Lyr Add: Georgie, Me Neck A-Broke	10 Nov 20
Hey there, Joe! Here are the lyrics for the shanty Georgie, Me Neck A-Broke. I learned the song from the late Barry Finn, from his album Fathom This, and from his singing of it. This is a BWI shanty used more for lifting or shoving either a boat or a house. Neil Downey got it from Roger D. Abraham's collection "Deep the Water, Shallow the Shore." GEORGIE, ME NECK A-BROKE Solo: Georgie, me neck a-broke Ch: Hold ‘em Georgie, think he break me neck Georgie, me neck a-broke Hold ‘em Georgie, think he break me neck Solo: Pull on the oar now - Chorus: Think he break me neck Cut through the water - Think he break me neck Black fish rising - Think he break me neck Pull on the oar now - Think he break me neck Georgie, me neck a-broke Hold ‘em Georgie, think he break me neck Georgie, me neck a-broke Hold ‘em Georgie, think he break me neck Put in the stick now - Think he break me neck Put it on the loggerhead - Think he break me neck Pull on the oar now - Think he break me neck Don’t you lose him - Think he break me neck Don’t let him take you - Think he break me neck Georgie, me neck a-broke Hold ‘em Georgie, think he break me neck Georgie, me neck a-broke Hold ‘em Georgie, think he break me neck Finn & Haddie recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pj8dTcI45_0
