| As the son of a son of a sailor
|
| I went out on the sea for adventure
|
| Expanding the view of the captain and crew
|
| Like a man just released from indenture
|
| As a dreamer of dreams and a travelin' man
|
| I have chalked up many a mile
|
| Read dozens of books about heroes and crooks
|
| And I learned much from both of their styles
|
| Son of a son, son of a son
|
| Son of a son of a sailor
|
| Son of a gun, load the last ton
|
| One step ahead of the jailer
|
| Now away in the near future
|
| Southeast of disorder
|
| You can shake the hand of the mango man
|
| As he greets you at the border
|
| And the lady she hails from Trinidad
|
| Island of the spices
|
| Salt for your meat, and cinnamon sweet
|
| And the rum is for all your good vices
|
| Haul the sheet in as we ride on the wind
|
| That our forefathers harnessed before us
|
| Hear the bells ring as the tight rigging sings
|
| It’s a son of a gun of a chorus
|
| Where it all ends I can’t fathom my friends
|
| If I knew I might toss out my anchor
|
| So I cruise along always searchin' for songs
|
| Not a lawyer a thief or a banker
|
| But a son of a son, son of a son
|
| Son of a son of a sailor
|
| Son of a gun, load the last ton
|
| One step ahead of the jailer
|
| I’m just a son of a son, son of a son
|
| Son of a son of a sailor
|
| The sea’s in my veins, my tradition remains
|
| I’m just glad I don’t live in a trailer |
