Lyrics for Gordon's "Old Fat Boat" (aka Mattapoisett Harbor Blues aka Hydrogen Peroxide Blues) are in the DT, here:
@displaysong.cfm?SongID=4398 I've pasted in full lyrics anyway- there are some problems with the DT version, so here they are from Gordon's own site:
Old Fat Boat Be sure to read the story of how the song came to be.
*****************************************
Old Fat Boat

Here I am, man, all alone again
Anchored away the hell and gone again
Another mile from another town
Wind Northeast and the rain coming down.
Home is the sailor, home from the sea;
A home for the mildew, friend to the flea –

I don't care, man, I'm happy.
I got an old fat boat, she's slow but handsome
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

No more tobacco, no more cheese;
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.

You know, I got milk and I got ice;
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.

Yes, I got coffee, I got tea,
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.

Well mercy, mercy, I do declare
If half the fun of going is the getting there,
Mercy, Percy, you better start rowing,
'Cause the other half of getting there is going.

Old Fat Boat was recorded on the album "A Rogue's Gallery of Songs for the 12-String" and is also in the songbook "One to Sing, One to Haul"
