High And Dry Lyrics

High And Dry lyrics

With a lady-like devotion

 She sails the bitter ocean

 If it wasn't for lovesick sailors

 There'd be nothin' left but flotsam

 Singin' why me oh my

 Is there a better man than I

 I hope you find your way back home

 Before you're lyin' high and dry

 I hope you find your way back home

 Before you die

 

 Her sails blow like bubbles

 While ya sip yer daily doubles

 If she wasn't so fond of the weather

 She might give the deckhands trouble

 Singin' why me oh my

 Is there a better man than I

 I hope you find your way back home

 Before you're lyin' high and dry

 I hope you find your way back home

 Before you die

 

 One day when I grew older

 And I found I could not hold her

 She took on a fine young skipper

 Who soon run her up on a boulder

 Singin' why me oh my

 Is there a better man than I

 I hope you find your way back home

 Before you're lyin' high and dry

 I hope you find your way back home

 Before you die

 

 Now the pleasures of the harbor

 Don't include a lady barber

 If it wasn't for Long John Silver

 All of us pirates would've been martyrs

 Singin' why me oh my

 Is there a better man than I

 I hope you find your way back home

 Before you're lyin' high and dry

 I hope you find your way back home

 Before you're lyin' high and dry

 I hope you find your way back home

 Before you die
