Lyrics Lukey (with the Chieftains) - Great Big Sea

Lukey (with the Chieftains)

Lukey’s boat is painted green ha, me boys
Lukey’s boat is painted green
It’s the prettiest boat that you’ve ever seen
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-I-day
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-I-day
Lukey’s boat’s got a fine fore cutty, ha, me boys
Lukey’s boat’s got a fine fore cutty
And every seam is chinked with putty
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-I-day
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-I-day
Well I says, «Lukey the blinds are down» ha, me boys
I says, «Lukey the blinds are down
Me wife is dead and she’s underground»
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-I-day (sing it!)
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-I-day
Well, I says, «Lukey I don’t care» ha, me boys
I says, «Lukey I don’t care
I’ll get me another in the spring of the year»
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-I-day (just sing it now!)
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-I-day
TWO, THREE, FOUR!
Lukey’s rolling out his grub, ha, me boys
Lukey’s rolling out his grub
One split pea and a ten pound tub
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-I-day (come on!)
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-I-day
Lukey’s boat is painted green, ha, me boys
Lukey’s boat is painted green
It’s the prettiest boat that you’ve ever seen
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-I-day
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-I-day
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-I-day
