Thanks! OK, I got it. With the corrections:

OFF TO DUTCH HARBOR
Hobo Jim

1. Goodbye to my lady. Goodbye to dry ground.
I'm off to the place where the crab can be found.
Raise your glass high, boys. You're drinkin' on me.
I'm off to Dutch harbor on the cold Bering Sea.

2. The captain is waitin' and the crew are all friends.
We've been there before and we're goin' again:
Five miles from hell on the wave and the wind.
Give me just one more drink, boys, before I begin.

3. They're predicting there're plenty of crab to be found.
The thought of good pay but it makes my heart pound.
The roar of that diesel's been music to me.
I'm off to Dutch Harbor on the cold Bering Sea.

4. Toss the pots over. Keep an eye on the line.
Pray for the day that you see the sun shine
In some other place where you'd much rather be
Than here in Dutch harbor on the cold Bering Sea.

REPEAT VERSE 1.
