This song in NO WAY BELONGS TO ME! I'm just passing it on. Because it's awesome.
Artist: The Rumjacks
Song: The Terrible Sea
Album: Gangs of New Holland
-Lyrics-
The wind howled mournful and low,
One hole in his heart,
Left a note for his Mother to say,
He'd be joinin' his Dad.
He said "The Devil's all pissed,
'Cause I danced with his Daughter,
I was born to be hung,
So I don't fear the water,
If he wants me he can chase me below,
The Terrible Sea..."
There's a pinch of tobacco,
Tucked into the sleeve of his coat,
And a dirty black penny,
To pay the old man on the boat,
He honours the rocks with a cruciform pole,
Singin' "My Love is like a Red, Red Rose,"
In a single explosion he's gone,
To the Terrible Sea
