[00:04.83] || Verse Chords ||
[00:20.34] We're taking on water
[00:21.34] Diesel and stores
[00:24.04] Laying up awhile Before I'm back on board
[00:28.07] They're patching her up
[00:31.55] To go fishing again
[00:33.75] fishing again
[00:37.53] They're welding her rudder
[00:38.60] Scrubbing her keel
[00:41.23] Scars on her belly Need time to heal
[00:45.39] In the dock
[00:48.68] With the trawlermen
[00:49.68]
[00:53.87] I know all the people
[00:56.49] There's nobody new
[00:58.94] Soon we'll be leaving with the same old crew
[01:03.00] On the green water
[01:06.30] The tumbling sea
[01:07.30]
[01:11.70] They ain't running like the good old days
[01:15.59] Time's just slipping down the old slipways
[01:19.40] In the dock
[01:23.41] So dear to me
[01:25.30]
[01:29.73] Dark is the night
[01:33.91] I need a guiding light
[01:37.36] To keep me
[01:38.89] From foundering
[01:40.62] On the rocks
[01:46.83] My only prayer
[01:51.15] Is just to see you there
[01:54.40] At the end
[01:55.90] Of my wandering
[01:58.07] Back in the dock
[01:59.30]
[02:28.61] I could use a layoff
[02:30.65] Getting my strength back
[02:32.85] But there's a loan to pay off
[02:34.62] And a few skipjack
[02:36.60] So it's a turnaround
[02:39.93] Back in the southerly wind
[02:42.64] Pirates coming in
[02:47.48] To steal our gold
[02:49.98] You can count yourself lucky
[02:51.86] With a profit in the hold
[02:53.87] In the dock
[02:57.56] When we come in
[02:58.56]
[03:02.92] Dark is the night
[03:08.30] I need a guiding light
[03:09.59] To keep me
[03:13.32] From foundering
[03:15.33] On the rocks
[03:21.62] My only prayer
[03:25.60] Is just to see you there
[03:28.59] At the end
[03:30.30] Of my wandering
[03:32.46] Back in the dock
