Jerry Jeff Walker – Sailing

Jerry Jeff Walker

Spoken:

Well, there I am in Mexico, man,

I’m sittin’ on a big hot rock with the blues,

Watchin’ this sailboat drive by, and I’m wonderin’, “Where’s mine?”

Hell, I know where there’s ship in a bottle,

I mean a schooner with a worm on board, yeah.

Chorus:

I think I’m gonna go off sailing

I think I’m gonna go off sailing

I think I’m gonna go off sailing

Cause I’ve been on dry land too long

Something I seen here seems to make me seasick

Something I seen here seems to make me seasick

Something I seen here seems to make me seasick

And I been on dry land too long

Roll on

Chorus

Leeches, land sharks, octopuses make my brain hurt

Land sharks, octopuses make my brain hurt

Yea, and I’ve been on dry land too long

Ship in a bottle

Chorus

Sail on, sail on

Chorus

Let’s carry on

Chorus

I need a ship in a bottle
