bill morrissey - he drinks alone كلمات أغنية

[verse 1]
i got a little shop on the waterfront
i open every spring
and i cater to the tourist crowd
well, they’ll buy up anything

[verse 2]
and in the bar next door there’s a string band
they play those old nantucket songs
ah, put a grown man to sleep
well christ, they’re ninety_nine verses long

[chorus]
when i was young, i went to sea
when i was young, fishing was the life for me

[verse 3]
from the back door of the bar next door
i can look out on the bay
and watch the trawlers coming in
i watch for my son’s boat that way

[verse 4]
one by one they tie up
the samе story’s always told
between the quotas and the forеign fleets
there’s no way to fill the holds
[chorus]
when i was young, i went to sea
when i was young, fishing was the life for me

[verse 5]
and i was thirty_nine years old
when i quit my life at sea
well, that was the only thing
my wife ever asked of me

[verse 6]
and back then the north atlantic
could bring a man a decent wage
well, i’ve tried to tell my son that
but you can’t talk to those his age

[chorus]
when i was young, i went to sea
when i was young, fishing was the life for me

[verse 7]
i got a little shop on the waterfront
keeps me in smokes and gin
i keep a place in my business open
for when my son wants to come on in
[chorus]
when i was young, i went to sea
when i was young, fishing was the life for me

- bill morrissey
