Worse Things Happen At Sea Lyrics

Worse Things Happen At Sea Lyrics

Life isn't always jolly - Sun often turns to rain
Between our fear and folly - We fail and fail again
My old man knew about it - He'd sailed the seven seas
It's not that he would doubt it - He'd say, alright, but please

Let's save our tears
Be brave, my dears
And stand up straight and free
Remember what the sailors say
Worse things happen at sea
Oh, worse things happen at sea

I had a dog called Lucky - A lively little chap
Blind in his left eye, and lost his right ear in a scr*p
At least one leg was going lame - His coat was going bald
But he still answered to his name - When anybody called

Let's save our tears
Be brave, my dears
And stand up straight and free
Remember what the sailors say
Worse things happen at sea
Oh, worse things happen at sea

When me and Dad went walking - He hardly said a word
But he knew I was talking - And I knew that he heard
I'd tell him of the tears I'd shed - My struggles and my pain
And by and by he'd shake his head - And start his old refrain

Let's save our tears
Be brave, my dears
And stand up straight and free
Remember what the sailors say
Worse things happen at sea
Oh, worse things happen at sea
