["The Merry -Go -Round Broke Down"]
A gargantuan hole in the bough
Will the ocean to enter allow?
Oh, but more a sin than letting it in
It's letting all good fortune out
The nest of the storm did succumb
While the crow hid his fear in the rung
Well now he's surely my chum
Love letters from under his bed
Holds a cabin boy over his head
A few who tried to keep it dry
Were tears they've already welled
They were penned by a girl in Marac
And the job and his value, they're tight
Sure to conclude he's horribly ruined
Cause he sure as hell not riding back
Cause the ship's going down
All on account of the weather
Cause we're all going together
And I won't say woe is me,
as I disappear into the sea
as we're all going together
I've had women of every kind,
but the only one truly was mine
Is the one who'd hold me alone
when I am full up with brine
For my son I had always a plan,
for to raise him as best as I can
Oh, you can bet my only regret
is to not even go to a man
Cause the ship's goin' down,
all on account of the weather
there's no need to frown,
cause we're all going together
And I won't say, you always may,
as I disappear into the sea
as we're all going together
I was sinking down into the brine
When a curious sight caught my eye
A seaman shaft had found a marathon
Was making a speedy good -bye
At the risk of sounding absurd,
I have always been good as my word
So a fish pig I lanced into his eye
and I knocked his ass overboard
Cause the ship's going down,
all on account of the weather
there's no need to frown,
cause we're all going together
And I won't say woe is me,
as I disappear into the sea
Cause you've all been so good to me
So we're all going together you
