Eamon |
EAMON SWALLOWED ANCHOR AND STEPPED HIMSELF ASHORE |
SET SEABOOT DOWN ON COBBLESTONE HE’D NEVER TROD BEFORE |
A LONE FOG ON THE HARBOUR DID OBSCURE THE RIGGING LIGHTS |
AND THE TERRA FIRMA TAVERN CAST A WARM AND GLOWING LIGHT |
SING FARE THEE WELL |
CALM SEAS OR SWELL |
RED EVENING SKY |
HOME AND DRY |
EAMON WENT TO SEA FOR LIFE THE DAY HE TURNED FOURTEEN |
ON A MERCHANT CARGO STEAMER BOUND FOR KWAJALEIN |
BY WAY OF CARTAGENA HE WOUND UP IN ISTANBUL |
NINETEEN TIMES AROUND THE HORN WOULD MAKE A DUTCHMAN DROOL |
NOW EAMON HEADED INLAND TILL HE COULD NOT SMELL THE SEA |
WHERE THEY’D NEVER SEEN A BOAT THAT’S WHERE HE WENT TO BE |
AND THEY DRESSED HIM IN HIS PEACOAT PULLED HIS SEABOOTS ON |
STITCHED HIM IN HIS HAMMOCK AND SENT HIM SAILING HOME |
SING FARE THEE WELL |
CALM SEAS OR SWELL |
JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES |
HOME AND DRY |
