the longest johns - it's hard to be a shantyman (on christmas) lyrics

[verse 1]
it’s christmastime
there’s silence on the sea
it’s christmastime
the bag’s frozen in my tea
and all i want is something else to do
than get lashed with me crew
it’s hard to be a shantyman on christmas

[verse 2]
i should’ve known
my letters were in vain
’cause santa’s sleigh
won’t brave this shipping lane
frozen ropes are all i have to hold
but nothing feels so cold
as being a shantyman on christmas

[bridge]
i have the deck but there’s no halls
no carols like a siren’s call
no deer in sight, but rain it pours in droves
all year it’s haul and pull and hoist
i’m losing hope; i’ve lost my voice
i sure could use some christmas cheer back home
[verse 3]
but alas!
it’s christmastime (ah)
i fear just like the last (ooh)
put up my lights (ah)
and tinsel ’round the mast
grin and try to find some yuletide cheer
but i can’t find it here
it’s hard to be a shantyman on christmas
woe is me, the shantyman on christmas
so think about the shantyman this christmas

- the longest johns
