1
Well my Papa was a fisherman
2
And he fished the deep blue sea
3
Well he home-made some fine blackberry nip
4
And he'd always pause and nip on me
5
Well he smelled like black-tarred fishing nets
6
Oh tiger belly growl
7
Well he was my good Papa
8
But he be bones now
9
Granddaddy was a sailor
10
And he sailed from far across the sea
11
Well he did talk some kind of funny
12
But it never did bother me
13
When he spoke about his homeland
14
'Twas with a sad and furrowed brow
15
No more tears, Granddaddy
16
You just be bones now
17
Well I look now at my father
18
And his black hair's all gone grey
19
And the strong arms that did carry me
20
Well they're now withering away
21
Lay down your burdens, Papa
22
Won't you come sit with me at home
23
We've got to spend some time together
24
Before we just be bones
