Lyrics for Children
Children, where have you been? Children, where have you been? On the beach to see if we could catch Few more fish from out of the sea Just few more from out of the sea And your head so red, your head getting ready Sea so rough, so rough, boat's rocky-rocky inside Current so strong, current so strong You could even hate about Knocked about, knocked about Be careful how you walk, be careful how you walk A them ya fisherman about, a them ya fisherman about Leave the ocean and come, leave the ocean and come Leave the ocean and come, leave the ocean and come I no hate you, hate you, I no hate you, hate you No, I don't hate no one I love, I love, I love, I love, I love, I love That's why I gots to say You leave the ocean and come, you leave the ocean and come You leave the ocean and come All night at sea, all night at sea Night you were finding a way And your lamp get so dim that even one nip you get That's why I got to say to you, to you, to you, to you You leave the ocean and come, you leave the ocean and come, come on You leave the ocean and come, come on You leave the ocean, leave it Leave the ocean and come, leave the ocean and come Children, where have you been? On the beach to say fi good catch Few more fish from out of the sea The sea so rough, so rough Boat's rocky-rocky two side Current so strong, so strong Leave the ocean and come, you leave the ocean and come Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on You leave the ocean and come Leave the ocean and come, leave the ocean and come
