(Chorus)
Up here in the crow's nest, it's a long way down to the sea
One false move and it would be Davey Jones for me
I've never been a righteous man, won't get to Fiddler's Green
I still love this sailing life, it's the best I've ever seen

It's been a long haul with salt in my eyes
I've got aching bones every time I rise
The barrel's full of rum up to the top
And when I get dry I take a little drop

(Chorus)

Thar she blows, stand steady on deck
I've got blood and sweat on my face and neck
Hands over fists, I'm quick on the rope
I don't have luck but I've got a lot of hope

(Chorus)

Open arms await for me
My family, my home
Many days out on the sea
But I still love to roam

Day and night there's so much work to do
While I make my way 'cross the waves to you
Blue sky morning and stars bright at night
We're close to port with shore in sight

(Chorus)

Open arms await for me
My family, my home
Many days out on the sea
But I still love to roam
