high and dry (1988 version) - gordon lightfoot lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
with ladylike devotion
she sails the bitter ocean
if it wasn’t for lovesick sailors
there’d be nothin’ left but flotsam

[chorus]
singing why, me oh my, is there a better man than i?
you find your way back home
before you’re lyin’ high and dry
you find your way back home before you die

[verse 2]
her sails below like bubbles
while you sip your daily doubles
if she wasn’t so fond of the weather
she might give your deckhands trouble

[chorus]
singing why, me oh my, is there a better man than i?
you find your way back home
before you’re lyin’ high and dry
i hope you find your way back home before you die

[verse 3]
one day as i grew older
and i found i could not hold her
she took on a fine young skipper
who soon ran her up on a boulder
[chorus]
singing why, me oh my, is there a better man than i?
you find your way back home
before you’re lyin’ high and dry
you find your way back home before you die

[verse 4]
now the pleasures of the harbor
don’t include a lady barber
if it wasn’t for long john silver
all of us pirates would’ve been martyrs

[chorus]
singing why, me oh my, is there a better man than i?
you find your way back home
before you’re lyin’ high and dry
i hope you find your way back home
before you’re lyin’ high and dry
i hope you find your way back home before you die
