Correction Lyrics Back to Sea by The Irish Rovers

Back

Lyrics

The seafarin′ life, I know it right well
It's a fool′s paradise, the truth I will tell
When you're caught in a storm
Between Heaven and Hell
You pray just to see one more morn'

But likewise on land there′s hardships galore
Poor innocent sailors and up sick and sore
There′s horrible things that can happen ashore
And you'll wish that you′d never been born
Yes, you'll wish that you′d never been born

Three, four

In the port, we rant and roar
Drink like hell and call for more
There's not much trouble on the shore
For a sailor boy likе me

Back to sea wherе we belong
Away from women, wine, and song
Drunk as Scots and money gone
When will we ever learn
On the shore, we take our lead
Spendin' money as you please
Thank god it′s just a three-day leave
We couldn't take much more

Back to sea where we belong
Away from women, wine, and song
Drunk as Scots and money gone
When will we ever learn

All the la**ies love us so
They cling to us, the whiskey flows
They have us sailors well in tow
'Til we return to sea

Back to sea where we belong
Away from women, wine, and song
Drunk as Scots and money gone
When will we ever learn

Stormy seas and living gales
Can make the strongest spirit fail
Irish sailors hard as nails
That′s what we tell ourselves
Back to sea where we belong
Away from women, wine, and song
Drunk as Scots and money gone
When will we ever learn

So take heed all you sailors who venture ashore
Beware of the pitfalls that might be in store
With the la**ies and the drinkin′
You'll be tattered and torn
You′d be safer at sea in a storm
Oh, much safer at sea in a storm

Back to sea where we belong
Away from women, wine, and song
Drunk as Scots and money gone
When will we ever learn

Back to sea where we belong
Away from women, wine, and song
Drunk as Scots and money gone
When will we ever learn
Hey!
