lyrics

Down by the boat

I’m an admiral I make my horn signal
which only admirals may hear
but now I gave that show away to you

if anyone would know that you had witnessed this
I won’t do it again because
there’s too much men that’ll hear it then

sailors don’t cry except for when their ship gets burned
or sinks or when they’re on a raft
when they’re shipwrecked all alone

maybe probably you won’t believe my rank
but that’s only because I won’t
show off on it I won’t get temped again

so let’s get of this boat and hide your tears so we
can get to town to buy some bread
then pick up dad then we’ll go home

sailors don’t cry except for when their ship gets burned
or sinks or when they’re on a raft
when they’re shipwrecked all alone
