[00:18.67] We’re taking on water
[00:20.79] Diesel and stores
[00:22.87] Laying up awhile before I’m back on board
[00:27.06] They’re patching her up
[00:29.73] To go fishing again fishing again
[00:35.85] They’re welding her rudder
[00:37.77] Scrubbing her keel
[00:39.99] Scars on her belly need time to heal
[00:43.96] In the dock
[00:47.26] With the trawlermen
[00:52.81] I know all the people
[00:55.04] There’s nobody new
[00:57.50] Soon we’ll be leaving with the same old crew
[01:01.34] On the green water
[01:04.90] The tumbling sea
[01:10.75] They ain’t running like the good old days
[01:14.65] Time’s just slipping down the old slipways
[01:18.78] In the dock
[01:22.01] So dear to me
[01:28.67] Dark is the night
[01:32.87] I need a guiding light
[01:35.64] To keep me
[01:37.70] From foundering
[01:39.42] On the rocks
[01:45.72] My only prayer
[01:50.36] Is just to see you there
[01:52.75] At the end
[01:54.47] Of my wandering
[01:56.89] Back in the dock
[02:00.71] Ah aha aha aha
[02:27.56] I could use a layoff
[02:29.21] Getting my strength back
[02:31.63] But there’s a loan to pay off and a few skipjack
[02:35.26] So it’s a turnaround
[02:38.59] Back in the southerly wind
[02:45.18] Pirates coming in to steal our gold
[02:48.45] You can count yourself lucky
[02:50.54] With a profit in the hold in the dock
[02:56.19] When we come in
[03:02.71] Dark is the night
[03:07.02] I need a guiding light to keep me
[03:11.85] From foundering
[03:13.65] On the rocks
[03:19.93] My only prayer
[03:24.27] Is just to see you there
[03:26.95] At the end
[03:28.73] Of my wandering
[03:31.13] Back in the dock
[03:35.09] Ahlala dadada dada dada daadda
