作曲:Stan Rogers
Now it's just my luck to have the watch
With nothing left to do
Watch the deadly waters glide
As we roll north to the zoo
And wonder when they'll turn again
And pitch us to the rail
And whirl off one more youngster in the gale
The kid was so damn eager
It was all so big and new
He never had to tell him twice or find him work to do
And evenings on the mess deck
He was always first to sing
And show his pictures of the girl he in spring
But I told that kid a hundred times don't take
The lakes for granted
They'll go from comb to a hundred knots
So fast they seem enchanted
But tonight some red eyed white'n girl
Lie staring at the wall
And her lover's gone into a wide squall
Now it's a thing that us old time is now
When a sultry summer comes
A comes a blow from nowhere and it goes off like a bomb
And the fifteen thousand tanner
Can be thrown upon our being
While the gale takes all before it with a scream
The kid was on the hatches lying staring at the sky
From where I stood
I swear I could see tears fall from his eyes
So I had him for heart to tell him
That he should be on a line
Even on the night so warm and fine
But I told that kid a hundred times don't take
The legs for granted
They'll go from calm to a hundred not so fast
They seem enchanted
But tonight some red eyed white
And girl are you staring at the wall
And the lovers gone into what its call
When it struck he sat up with a start
I roared to him get down
But for all that he could hear
I could as well not made a sound
So I clung there to the stanches
And I felt my face go pale
As he crawled hand over hand along the way
Now I could feel her healing over
With a fury of the blow
And I watched the rail go under
Then so terrible and slow
Then like some dog she shook herself
And roared upright again
Far overside I heard him call my name
But I told that kid a hundred times don't take
The legs for granted
They go from calm to a hundred
Not so fast they seem enchanted
But tonight some red eyed white
And girl lie staring at the wall
And her lover's gone into what its call
So it's just my luck to have the watch
With nothing left to do
But watch the deadly waters glide
As we roll north to the zoo
And wonder when they'll turn again
And pitch us to the rail
And we're off one more youngster in the gale
And I tell these kids a hundred times don't take
The legs for granted
They'll go from comm
To a hundred knots so fast they seem enchanted
But tonight some red eyed white
And girl lie staring at the wall
And her lover's gone into a white squall
