GUEST,Tinker in Chicago REQ: Nonsense song about being a sailor? (55* d) RE: Tune Req: Nonsense song about being a sailor? 08 Jun 22


Well, I see MMario posted the lyrics to my song The Sea many years ago, but let me make a few corrections. First verse: “I slipped out and headed (not head off to) Westward.” Chorus: not “Follow me, boys” but “Tell ‘em, me boy.” Chorus: “No better place to be.” And it’s “until tomorrow.” In the chorus there’s a typo: “one day” instead of “ode day.” Third verse: not “finest Kerner oil” but “finest courduroy.” Also, “I rowed me way to Ireland” instead of “I rode away to Ireland.” If you don’t have access to my albums, William Pint & Felicia Dale also recorded it.
