Tony Rose - Stormy Weather lyrics

We was laying in Surrey Dock one day When the mate said that it was time to get under way Stormy weather boys, stormy weather boys When the wind blows our barge will go Now the skipper he's homeward bound but he's out of luck 'Cause the skipper's half drunk in the Dog and Duck Stormy weather boys, stormy weather boys When the wind blows our barge will go Then the skipper come aboard with a girl on his arm He's going to give up barging and take on a farm Stormy weather boys, stormy weather boys When the wind blows our barge will go We sailed away and she sails like heck There ain't no bargemen up on deck Stormy weather boys, stormy weather boys When the wind blows our barge will go We sailed her up, we sailed her down We sailed her into Yarmouth town Stormy weather boys, stormy weather boys When the wind blows our barge will go We sailed her round Orford Ness The wind backed her round to the south south west Stormy weather boys, stormy weather boys When the wind blows our barge will go On top of the tide it's the barge did fleet The mate saw a ghost in the main mast sheet Stormy weather boys, stormy weather boys When the wind blows our barge will go Now the mate set the wheel, the ghost did steer The cook drank the dregs of the old man's beer Stormy weather boys, stormy weather boys When the wind blows our barge will go Then up jumped a mermaid, covered in slime We sat her in the fo'c'sle and we had a good time Stormy weather boys, stormy weather boys When the wind blows our barge will go So after all our fears and alarm We all ended up in the Druid's Arm Stormy weather boys, stormy weather boys When the wind blows our barge will go
