I stayed awake for hours again last night
Searching for a reason to keep up the fight
I've made choices I don't regret
I've got problems I don't get

I didn't want to carry the heavier load
You can't always take the middle road
There comes a time when you make up your mind

My name was William Kidd,
When I sailed, when I sailed,
My name was William Kidd,
When I sailed,
My name was William Kidd;
God's laws I did forbid,
And so wickedly I did,

Well me father often told me when I was just a lad
A sailor's life was very hard, the food was always bad
But now I've joined the navy, I'm aboard a man-o-war
And now I've found a sailor ain't a sailor any more
Don't haul on the rope, don't climb up the mast
If you see a sailing ship it might be your last
Just get your civies ready for another run ashore
A sailor ain't a sailor, ain't a sailor anymore

[G] [Cadd9] [D] (x2)

Em D C
You left in the morning
You left without a word
Did you get what you came for
Is this what I deserve
G Cadd9

I'm a young married man and I'm tired of life

Ten years I've been wed to a pale sickly wife,

She's nothing to do only sit there and cry

Praying and praying to God she would die.

Many a truest word
has been spoken by the Jester
Standing against the tide
Is the noblest of gestures
It's the little pearls of wisdom
That tumble from the light
That makes us laugh until we cry
Because we know that they are right

Way hey and away we go
Donkey riding, donkey riding
Way hey and away we go
Ridin' on a donkey.

Was you ever in Quebec
Launchin' timber on the deck?
Where ya break yer bleedin' neck

What do you do with a drunken sailor,
What do you do with a drunken sailor,
What do you do with a drunken sailor,
Earl-eye in the morning!
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Earl-eye in the morning

Well it was on this monday morning
And the day be calm and fine
A harbour grace excursion
With the boys who had the time
And just before the sailor
Took the gangway from the pier
I saw some fellow haul me wife
Aboard as a volunteer

It's of a bold young smuggler
From Fortune he did sail
He rode the waves from St. Pierre
And never saw the jail

He filled her up with contraband
Perfume, smokes and rum
He hoped the fog was thick enough

Well General Taylor gained the day
Walk him along, John, Carry him along
Well General Taylor he gained the day
Carry him to his bury'n ground

[Chorus:]

Tell me way, hey, you stormy

The world today can be a scary place,
Hard to keep your faith in the human race.
We're running out of trees and we're running out of space,
But we'll never run out of good people.

Ask 'em for a shovel and they'll dig you a hole,
Put the coffee on, drag you in from the cold.
If you get lost they'll show you where to go

I drove a million miles with you,
I broke a million smiles with you,
I told a million lies with you,
What else would I do,

We answered every sirens call,
We watched the stars collide and fall,
Stood back to back against the wall,

"It's a cold day for September",
Was all I thought to say
When I saw you on the street the other day
I knew something changed between us,
All the talk we made was small
But what do you say to someone

When they've heard you say it all

It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine

That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds,
snakes, an aeroplanes, Lenny Bruce is not afraid.
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn - world
serves its own needs, dummy serve your own needs. Feed
it off an aux speak, grunt, no, strength, Ladder
start to clatter with fear fight down height. Wire

You gotta believe in

When we're together why does something always start
Are we both better off when we are apart
Someday's you hate me I can see it in your eyes
It seems like lately you can't wait to criticize me

But, It's alright, we don't have to fight tonight

Well oh, Lukey's boat is painted green,
Ha, me boys!
Lukey's boat is painted green,
The prettiest boat that you've ever seen,
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!
Well oh, Lukey's boat's got a fine fore cuddy,
Ha, me boys!

I see you in the front row, dancing up and down
You're ripped and ready for a night downtown
And all the pretty boys are chasing you around
'Cause they all want to win your affection

Spent three hours getting ready for the show
Nothing on underneath and everybody knows
Mama said wear a coat or catch your death of cold

"Mari-Mac"

There's a neat little lass and her name is Mari Mac
Make no mistake, she's the girl I'm gonna track
Lot of other fellas try to get her on her back
But I'm thinking that they'll have to get up early

[Chorus:]

I'm gone
You can't get ahold of me
So long
It's coming over me
I fly by
And shatter the speed of sound
Sky High
And I never wanna come down

I drank sixteen doubles for the price of one
Trying to find the courage to talk to one
I asked her for a dance
Not a second glance
My night had just begun

Well I drink to the father and the holy ghost
I'm kneeling at the altar of my nightly post

I've got a smile on my face, and I've got four walls around me.

I've got the sun in the sky, all the water surrounds me, oh-ee-oh.
Yeah, I'll win now, but sometimes I'll lose.
I've been battered, but I never bruise, it's not so bad,

(Chorus)

It takes a lot to get to the top
And a little just to fall off quick
And I think I've seen you here before.

Sometimes you fly so high
So fast it makes you sick
You won the battle and lost the war

Two recruiting sargeants came to the CLP
For the sons of the merchants to join the blue fatigues
So all hands enlisted, 500 young men
Enlist you Newfoundlanders and come follow me

They crossed the broad Atlantic in the brave Florazel
On the sands of Suva they entered into hell
And on those bloody beaches the first of them fell

Meet me in the morning and I'll be happy as a clown
You'll just be getting up and I'll still be getting down
The band is getting tired but they don't give a damn
so blow the girls a kiss and give the boys a hand

You can take the sunshine, I can take the moonshine
You can take the high road, I can take the low
but later in the evening the one thing i believe in is

A girl upon the shore did ask a favour of the sea;
"Return my blue eyed sailor boy safely back to me.
Forgive me if I ask too much, I will not ask for more,
but I shall weep until he sleeps safe upon the shore."

As though the sea did hear her plea, a vision did appear,
the drifting tip of some wrecked ship came floating ever near.
A figure there did cling to it, approaching more and more,

Hey You, you lost your only friend
You can't believe you're broken heart will ever mend
But every mountain has its faces that'd make you want to stop
On this so unwelcome journey from the bottom to the top.

Move along
I believe there's Something Beautiful to see
Move along

Am I leaving you tomorrow, I can't see
Is this how it's going to be?
In the morning must I go,
So let's take a little time, see what's on your mind
Is there something I should know ?
I thought we went through all this yesterday
You said you were OK, you just had to take it slow
I'm tired of these little games you play, are you here to stay

"Summer"

She doesn't see the coming fall
She doesn't show no fear at all
Bring on autumn moon or the driving rain
I only hope I see her face again

Everything is gonna be alright when summer comes

Oh the night that Paddy Murphy died, is a night I'll never forget
Some of the boys got loaded drunk, and they ain't got sober yet;
As long as a bottle was passed around every man was feelin' gay
O'Leary came with the bagpipes, some music for to play

Chorus:
That's how they showed their respect for Paddy Murphy
That's how they showed their honour and their pride;

Waiting for the nightingale to sing
Waiting for the harbour lights to dim
I've been on the outside looking in
While the widow in the window waits for him

[Chorus 1]
But he won't be back
Won't you realize that
