Sea Shanty

Myles Rudge, Ted Dicks

[Verse 1]
I've been ashore too long, me boys
I've been ashore too long
So 'eave away, me hearties
For the call of the sea is strong

My heart is there
Where the wind is fair
And the waves are lappin' low

[Refrain]
I've been ashore too long, me boys
'Tis time for me to go
Time for me to go

[Verse 2]
I hear the seabirds cry, me boys
I hear the seabirds cry
I hear the thunder crashing
Out of a stormy sky

There's rain and hail
And a tatterеd sail
That a brave noreaster clovе

[Refrain]
Oh, I've been ashore too long, me boys
'Tis time for me to go
Time for me to go

[Verse 3]
There's many a shipmate lost, me boys
There's many a shipmate lost
Stout-hearted lad from Devon
And who's to count the cost?

But, take me far
Where the big ships are
And the waters ebb and flow

[Refrain]
Oh, I've been ashore too long, me boys
'Tis time for me to go
Time for me to go

[Outro (spoken)]
[glub glub]

Man overboard!
And it's me!
Ah!

[glub glub]
