lyrics

Was about the fifth of May
Gone sailing on the weekend
Passed around the whiskey jar
Raised some up to gull nearby
Can't say I need baby
Can say, it calms me down

So to my uncle I did pose
A question no one else could hear
On the west side of George's Island
Is that a man out there being pulled to sea
Turn this boat around
It's only 12 degrees and the water is colder

How long you been here my good sir?
"10 minutes or so I know it ain't more
My boat was flipped right upside down
Don't have the strength to flip it back over"
Like an anchor, reel him on in

We're back on two feet
