CHILDREN ON THE SEA

I'm just a common sailor, I work hard every day
We move all kinds of cargo, that's how we earn our pay
Some people try to stop our ship, they just don't understand
We've got to get this shipment through,so lend a helping hand

Chorus -

Sailing children, children on the sea
No need to worry of their fate, they're not like you or me
Sailing children, children on the sea
We're hauling freight, children on the sea

It's a story old as Neptune, it didn't start with me
Some people sell their children, they need money don't you see
I'm just the guy that helps them out,it's the custom of their land
Why shouldn't I make a profit and then go and wash my hands?

Repeat Chorus

We hear they'll try to stop our ship it really is a shame
Some forigners will interfere and try to fix the blame
But I won't do any jailtime no matter what the cost
I hate to lose my profits but this cargo must be lost

So we'll throw children, children to the sea
Please don't worry of their fate they're not like you or me
Throw these children, these children to the sea
It's such a waste I'm sure you would agree.
