[00:00.00]One song at a time
[00:41.89]My whistle under the archways
[00:44.07]Still echoes down the street
[00:47.16]All the way back to Deptford days
[00:49.79]Nights down by The Creek
[00:51.89]Notes as big as river boats
[00:54.54]Still echoing through the clubs
[00:57.08]With the horns of the trains
[00:58.03]Down the old back lanes
[00:59.59]And the lights of the corner pubs
[01:04.40]In a taproom lined with mirrors
[01:06.60]There's a man there at the bar
[01:09.22]Reminds you of somebody
[01:11.83]He says I know who you are
[01:16.93]He's right, I know I could be him
[01:19.58]But anyway who is who?
[01:22.22]You could be looking at
[01:22.93]What he's looking at
[01:24.04]And he's looking at you
[01:26.06]And I'll be out of this place
[01:28.27]And down the road wherever
[01:33.39]There but for the grace, etcetera
[01:36.28]I'll see you later but it's 1979
[01:41.59]And I'm picking my way out of here
[01:44.10]One song at a time
[02:09.05]The slaving ports of plunder
[02:11.23]Used to stink to heaven on high
[02:14.64]Companions of honour
[02:16.28]Always were in short supply
[02:21.51]The Bristol ships and Liverpool's
[02:24.14]On every tide they came
[02:26.85]The times they may have changed, my friend
[02:28.93]Some people stay the same
[02:31.00]And I'll be out of this place
[02:32.88]And down the road wherever
[02:37.91]There but for the grace, etcetera
[02:40.50]I'll see you later but it's 1879
[02:46.36]And I'm picking my way out of here
[02:49.03]One song at a time
[03:14.14]A grinning mogul greets the crowd
[03:16.06]At Execution Dock
[03:18.81]All come to see three mutineers
[03:21.02]Turned off at twelve o'clock
[03:26.27]The shyster takes a ringside seat
[03:28.90]As they're bringing them from the jail
[03:31.54]And twenty thousand tickets
[03:33.23]Sold online on premium sale
[03:38.69]So if you need to reach me
[03:40.74]You can leave word at The Pig
[03:43.78]I have no wish to stay around
[03:46.30]To watch that Newgate jig
[03:48.77]Or any more poor old fakers
[03:50.59]Trying to dance in my old shoes
[03:53.66]I'll be gone over the ocean
[03:55.78]With the transatlantic blues
[03:58.30]And I'll be out of this place
[03:58.89]And down the road wherever
[04:05.01]There but for the grace, etcetera
[04:07.88]I'll see you later somewhere down the line
[04:13.67]I'll be picking my way out of here
[04:16.00]One song at a time
