Mother, Mother Ocean
I Have Heard You Call
I Wanted To Sail Upon Your Waters
Since I Was Three Feet Tall
You've Seen It All
You've Seen It All

I Watched The Men Who Rode You
Switch From Sails To Steam
And In Your Belly You Hold The Treasure
That Few Have Ever Seen
Most Of Them Dreams
Most Of Them Dreams

I Go For Younger Women
I Lived With Several Awhile
And Though I Ran Away They'll Come Back One Day
And I Still Can Manage A Smile
It Just Takes A While
Just Takes A While

Two Hundred Years Too Late
The Cannons Don't Thunder There's Nothin' To Plunder

I Have Been Drunk Now For Over Two Weeks,
I Passed Out And I Rallied And I Sprung A Few Leaks,

Just A Few Friends

After All These Years I've Found
My Occupational Hazard Is
My Occupation's Just Not Around

Gonna Head Uptown
I Feel Like I've Drowned
Gonna Head Uptown
