Joshua Slocum Sets Sail Lyrics
I made a life of the ocean
Mending the boot soles of fishermen
Counting my ribs on my good hand
Sewing the salt in my skin
Traded my last for the odd bark
And took a wife without captain's leave
Who gave me three sons and a daughter at sea
I buried in Argentine
With Buenos Aires behind me
I refit a sloop and I fell on the wind
Without a companion beside me
I sailed with a pulse in my limbs
No man that takes to the sea life
Is fit to live a life on the shore
And I set sail once more from New Jersey Port
To sail this vessel down
Mending the boot soles of fishermen
Counting my ribs on my good hand
Sewing the salt in my skin
And took a wife without captain's leave
Who gave me three sons and a daughter at sea
I buried in Argentine
I refit a sloop and I fell on the wind
Without a companion beside me
I sailed with a pulse in my limbs
Is fit to live a life on the shore
And I set sail once more from New Jersey Port
To sail this vessel down
