lyrics
O I've loved the Sea since the day I could dream
They said "don't leave yet, you've still got mouths to feed”
But I listened not, the day I signed those papers
How I long for the work and smell of my father's stable
Well the train's a'burnin and the cigarettes rollin in
As the old sailor man sits watching the rain come in
He thinks of the rain and the pain and all the ways he's losing
And he longs of the day when he'll be buried in the blue
Cursed be that Sea
That stole my family
As I lie in this old sand
I wonder when I ceased to be a man
