The Bilge Pumps - Songs of the Sea: Lyrics to Ned's Chanty

Songs Lyrics
A-F G-O P-Z Christmas
Ned's Chanty
(C. Micheal Price & Rodger Harrison)

I grew up down by the blue green sea
Where old whaling men shared their tales with me
Of those wondrous days before the mast
What a magic spell their words did cast

(Chorus)
With the wind in the rigging and the rain on the deck
Lordy, lordy, it's my watch next
With a queasy stomach and an aching back
How I'd love to stay here in my rack

I still recall the joyous day
When I climbed aboard and we sailed away
I could hear the call of foreign lands
The whole world there in my two hands

(Chorus)

We made port thirty days ago
And I spent the night with a lady-O
She laid her hands on my fevered brow
How I'd love to be with that lady, now

(Chorus)

Many days now we have sailed
We fought the seas to hunt the whale
I love this life, but what a cost
I've just this peg for the leg I've lost

(Chorus)
With the wind in the rigging and the rain on the deck
Lordy, lordy, it's my watch
