On the Leveeby Tom Parker |
The ship is loaded, we're ready to sailI have dreamed of a life on the ocean I have dreamed of a life on the sea And the one who shall have my devotion (aay) Is the one who will be true to me Ooh ... As a boy I would play on the levee (aay) I would sail on the lake – sun or squall And I'd always seem to catch fish a-plenty (aay) Was back then that I first heard the call Ooh ... Long days out on the sea Long nights sailing the breeze With my mates I have travelled the world My fate to the sea I have hurled Sometimes I might long for the land But my ship is where I will stand Storm clouds out on the sea Angry waves to the lee Ship rocks, deafening sound Ship rolls, we're going down Jump now, Captain can't help It's every man for himself Adrift on the sea, adrift on the sea The days they go by, still adrift on the sea There's a ship coming down, men are rowin' (aay) There's a ship coming down to save me Never more will I sail on this ocean (aay) For I've been long enough on the sea Ooh ... I have dreamed of a life on the ocean (aay) |
