Lyrics
Rosie O'
As we go
will we keep ourselves in tow?
We'll be keeping all god's accidents
out in space.
And we know
that the wind is sure to blow
and that ship is sure to go.
Just direct it, direct it.
Rosie O', how can you say
You never know.
Have you been sailing on the same ocean
that I row?
And I see that I'm not the first one here
Can you keep the breakers clear
and direct me, direct me?
Nothing to eat
but the sharks in the water
There's no sane way to pass the time
and the captain's drinking whiskey like water.
He still swears there's land to find.
Growing old,
have I been too long at sea?
It seems that treasure's hard to keep
when you've got no use for gold.
Ten stormy nights
and they never passed to light.
everytime the cold wind blows,
well, that's water down the hole.
Rosie O', how can you say
You never know.
Have you been sailing on the same ocean
that I row?
And I see that I'm not the first one here
Can you keep the brakers clear
and protect me, protect me?
