Johnny was a tailor
(Away lads come away)
Dillalistic for a sailor
(We land at break of day)
Signed aboard the southern cross
(Away lads come away)
And if she puts too sea then he'll never come back
Signed aboard the southern cross
(Away lads come away)
For a life before the mast
(We land at break of day)
The captain was the devils own
(Away lads come away)
And if she goes to sea then she'll never come back
She's a wreak
She's a wreak
She's a wreak
She's a wreak
From the crack in her keel
To the holes in her deck
She's a wreak
She's a wreak
She's a wreak
She's a wreak
And if she put to sea then she'll never come back
The captain was the devils own
(Away lads come away)
A poor mans work is never done
(We land at break of day)
Sailor is a journey man
(Away lads come away)
And if we put to sea then she'll never come back
She's a wreak
She's a wreak
She's a wreak
She's a wreak
From the crack in her keel
To the holes in her deck
She's a wreak
She's a wreak
She's a wreak
She's a wreak
And if she put to sea then she'll never come back
She's a wreak
She's a wreak
She's a wreak
She's a wreak
From the crack in her keel
To the holes in her deck
She's a wreak
She's a wreak
She's a wreak
She's a wreak
And if she put to sea then she'll never come back
