I'm bound a-shore, she's gone for better days, But I'll see her topsail flyin' when I come down off the way. Chorus: Rosie, get my Sunday shoes, Gertie get my walkin' cane; We'll take another walk to see Old Alice sail again. Wish I had a nickel for the men I used to know Who could load three cords of lumber in half an hour or so. Who could put sail be hauling, 'stead of donkeyin' around. Then I' d be the poorest coasterman this side of Edgartown. Any fool can run an engine, it takes brains to work a sail, I've never seen no steamer make much good out of a gale. You can go and pay your taxes on the rationed gas you get; But at least to me, the wind is free, and they haven't run out yet. If I ever get back to her, you know I'd treat her just the same: Drive her when I want to, I'd sail in freezing rain. Park old Alice on the beach, and go dancin' in the town, Cause a man who's fit for hangin' prob'ly never will get drowned. Learned from Bob Walser, Indian Neck, 1984 (who got it from Bruce Thompson) The song concerns Capt. Zebulon Tilton, who skippered the schooner Alice B. Wentworth out of Vinyard Haven. He retired at age 83; Rosie and Gertie were his daughters. The song appears on "Cap'n Hawkins' Choice" ( Winter Haven Records). @sailor @age filename[ OLDZEB DC ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Once I Knew A Pretty Girl, Once I Went In Swimmin, Once More Alumbering Go, Once There Were Greenfields, One Bottle Of Pop, One Hour Mama, One Man Shall Mow My Meadow, One More Day, One Ship Drives East, Ones That Got Away, Only A Miner, Only Remembered, Onward Christian Soldiers, Open The Door Softly, Oranges And Lemons, Oregon Country, Oreilly And The Big Mcneill, Other Day I Met A Bear, Otto Wood The Bandit, Ould Triangle, Our Bill, Our Captain Calls, Our Chalet, Our House, Our Wedding Day, Outlandish Knight, Ovaltine, Over And Over Again, Over The Sea To Skye Variant, Over The Water To Charlie, Over There, Over Yonder Where The Lilies Grow, Oxford Tragedy Or The Millers Apprentice, Oyster Girl, Pace Egging Song, Pack Up Your Sorrows, Packrat Philosophy, Paddle Down The Rahway, Paddy And The Whale, Paddy Doyle, Paddy Lay Back, Paddy Mcglntys Goat, Paddy West, Paddy Works On The Railway, Pakistan Anthem Text, Pakistan Native Anthem Text, Palace Of The Czar, Palms Of Victory, Panama Native Anthem Text, Paper Of Pins, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
