[JAKE]
Oh, I'm a-goin' out to the Blackfish banks
No matter what the weather say
And when I say I'm goin' I means goin'
And I'm leavin' at the break of day
It take a long pull
[JAKE & FISHERMEN]
To get there, huh!
[JAKE]
It take a long pull
[JAKE & FISHERMEN]
To get there, huh!
[JAKE]
It take a long pull
[JAKE & FISHERMEN]
To get there
[JAKE]
But I'll anchor in the Promised Land
[JAKE & FISHERMEN]
In the Promised Land
[JAKE]
I got a blister on my sittin' down place
I got a blister in my hand
But I'm gonna row this little boat, trust me God
'Til I anchor in the Promised Land
[JAKE & FISHERMEN]
It take a long pull to get there, huh!
It take a long pull to get there, huh!
It take a long pull to gеt there
But I'll anchor in the Promisеd Land
In the Promised Land
Land
