Marching Inland Lyrics by Bounding Main

Lost at Sea

0

Lord Nelson knew the perfect way to cure your mal de mer
And if you pay attention, his secret I will share
To any sea-sick sailor he'd give this advice for free:
"If you're feeling sea-sick, sit underneath a tree!""

I'm marching inland from the shore
Over me shoulder I'm carryin' an oar
When someone asks me: "What is that funny thing you got?"
Then I know I'll never go to sea no more, no more
Then I know I'll never go to sea no more!

Columbus he set sail to find out if the world was round
He kept on sailing to the West until he ran aground
He thought he'd found The Indies but he'd found the U.S.A.,
I know some navigators who can still do that today

I'm marching inland from the shore
Over me shoulder I'm carryin' an oar
When someone asks me: "What is that funny thing you got?"
Then I know I'll never go to sea no more, no more
Then I know I'll never go to sea no more!

Drake he's in his hammock and a thousand miles away
Grenville's Revenge is at the bottom of the bay
Many's a famous sailor never came home from sea
So take my advice, Jack, come and follow me

I'm marching inland from the shore
Over me shoulder I'm carryin' an oar
When someone asks me: "What is that funny thing you got?"
Then I know I'll never go to sea no more, no more
Then I know I'll never go to sea no more!

Sailors take a lesson from these men of high renown
When you leave the ocean and it's time to settle down
Never cast your anchor less than ninety miles from shore
There'd always be temptation to be off to sea once more

I'm marching inland from the shore
Over me shoulder I'm carryin' an oar
When someone asks me: "What is that funny thing you got?"
Then I know I'll never go to sea no more, no more
Then I know I'll never go to sea no more, no more
Then I know I'll never go to sea no more!
