The Coral Gables - Seasick

Whittling on the forecastle
Whistling an old sea shanty
I start to ponder how I ended up wandering
The ocean that is beyond me

How did I end up a sailor?
Something I never wanted to be
I crossed the wrong man, now I'm a wanted on land
And consigned to a life on the sea

How did - how did I end up a sailor?
After hundreds of voyages I'll avoid anymore if I could
And it's so hard, it's so hard to admit to a failure
But I'm seasick and I'm lonesome and so blue

They don't call me skinny for nothing
I was never such a masculine guy
I took a real beating when we encountered a hostile fleet
And got a peg leg and a wooden eye

I'm tired of the salt beef and pickles
And barrels of rum and of ale
But most of all the memory of her sleeping next to me
Blowing like wind in the snow

How did - how did I end up a sailor?
Following orders across maritime borders and all
And it's so hard - it's so hard to admit to a failure
But I'm seasick and I'm lonesome and so blue

I'm seasick and I'm lonesome and so blue
But I'm seasick and I'm lonesome and so blue

But I'm seasick and I'm lonesome and so blue
But I'm seasick and I'm lonesome and so blue
But I'm seasick and I'm lonesome and so blue
But I'm seasick and I'm lonesome and so blue
