[00:04.83]|| Verse Chords ||
[00:20.34]We're taking on water
[00:21.34]Diesel and stores
[00:24.04]Laying up awhile Before I'm back on board
[00:28.07]They're patching her up
[00:31.55]To go fishing again
[00:33.75]fishing again
[00:37.53]They're welding her rudder
[00:38.60]Scrubbing her keel
[00:41.23]Scars on her belly Need time to heal
[00:45.39]In the dock
[00:48.68]With the trawlermen
[00:49.68]
[00:53.87]I know all the people
[00:56.49]There's nobody new
[00:58.94]Soon we'll be leaving with the same old crew
[01:03.00]On the green water
[01:06.30]The tumbling sea
[01:07.30]
[01:11.70]They ain't running like the good old days
[01:15.59]Time's just slipping down the old slipways
[01:19.40]In the dock
[01:23.41]So dear to me
[01:25.30]
[01:29.73]Dark is the night
[01:33.91]I need a guiding light
[01:37.36]To keep me
[01:38.89]From foundering
[01:40.62]On the rocks
[01:46.83]My only prayer
[01:51.15]Is just to see you there
[01:54.40]At the end
[01:55.90]Of my wandering
[01:58.07]Back in the dock
[01:59.30]
[02:28.61]I could use a layoff
[02:30.65]Getting my strength back
[02:32.85]But there's a loan to pay off
[02:34.62]And a few skipjack
[02:36.60]So it's a turnaround
[02:39.93]Back in the southerly wind
[02:42.64]Pirates coming in
[02:47.48]To steal our gold
[02:49.98]You can count yourself lucky
[02:51.86]With a profit in the hold
[02:53.87]In the dock
[02:57.56]When we come in
[02:58.56]
[03:02.92]Dark is the night
[03:08.30]I need a guiding light
[03:09.59]To keep me
[03:13.32]From foundering
[03:15.33]On the rocks
[03:21.62]My only prayer
[03:25.60]Is just to see you there
[03:28.59]At the end
[03:30.30]Of my wandering
[03:32.46]Back in the dock
[03:43.46]
