Generate meaning
1
Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
2
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
3
You've seen it all, you've seen it all
4
Watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam
5
And in your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen
6
Most of 'em dream, most of 'em dream
7
Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late
8
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
9
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
10
Arriving too late, arriving too late
11
I've done a bit of smugglin', I've run my share of grass
12
I made enough money to buy miami, but I pissed it away so fast
13
Never meant to last, never meant to last
14
And I have been drunk now for over two weeks
15
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks
16
But I got stop wishin', got to go fishin'
17
Down to rock bottom again
18
Just a few friends, just a few friends
19
(instrumental)
20
I go for younger women, lived with several awhile
21
Though I ran 'em away, they'd come back one day
22
Still could manage to smile
23
Just takes a while, just takes a while
24
Mother, mother ocean, after all the years I've found
25
My occupational hazard being my occupation's just not around
26
I feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown
27
Coda:
28
I feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown
