Wave Over Wave |
| Oh me name’s Able Rodgers, a share man am I On a three masted schooner from Twillingate Isle |
| I’ve been the world over north, south, east, and west |
| But the middle of nowhere wheres' I likes it best |
| Where its wave over wave, sea over bow |
| I’m as happy a man as the sea will allow |
| Theres no other life for a sailor like me And to sail the salt sea boys, sail the sea |
| There’s no other life but to sail the salt sea |
| Well I leave my wife lonely ten months of the year |
| For she built me a home and raised my children there |
| She never come out to bid farewell to me Or ken why a sailor must sail the salt sea |
| The work it is hard and the hours are long |
| But my spirit is willing, my back it is strong |
| And when the works over the whisky will pour |
| We’ll dance with the girls upon some foreign shore |
| I’ve sailed the world over for decades or more |
| And oft times I wonder what I do it for |
| I dont know the answer its pleasure and pain |
| But with life to live over I’d do it again |
