The Nobbies (A Sea Chanty) Lyrics
Many a wayward seafaring soul
Has met his fate upon the nobbies
It was on this day 7 years ago
that my father was lost at sea
before he left on his journey
he gave me some fatherly advice
he said always look a man in the eye
and treat the dogs and ladies nice
Black clouds gathered as well as merchants
as my father set sail and showed no restraint
while the great whore that sits upon the waters
was drunk on the blood of sailors and saints
knowing the terror of the Lord
I fled the sea
For many a wayward seafaring soul
Has met his fate upon the nobbies
Until the earth becomes black...smeared
like Satan's shitty hole
the seven unforgiving seas
shall lay claim to unwary souls
Has met his fate upon the nobbies
It was on this day 7 years ago
that my father was lost at sea
before he left on his journey
he gave me some fatherly advice
he said always look a man in the eye
and treat the dogs and ladies nice
as my father set sail and showed no restraint
while the great whore that sits upon the waters
was drunk on the blood of sailors and saints
knowing the terror of the Lord
I fled the sea
For many a wayward seafaring soul
Has met his fate upon the nobbies
like Satan's shitty hole
the seven unforgiving seas
shall lay claim to unwary souls
