about

Written by Vorn D.P.E.M

lyrics

G F C G
C
When your skin is as dry and as cracked as old leather
G F C
Haul away all hands
C
And your eyes are burned red by the rum and the weather
G F C
Haul away to dry land

C E
Dry land, boys, dry land
Am F
It’s the only place for a man
C
If I should die while I roam
G C
Bury my bones on dry land

When the rum’s spun your head till you think down is up
Haul away all hands
And the devil wants paying for your last round of luck
Haul away to dry land

Dry land, boys, dry land
It’s the only safe place to stand
If I should die while I roam
Bury my bones on dry land
