Lyrics for Ships On The Ocean

Oh this ship is made of paper Alone, alone I sail the seven seas Call my mama more oneday [?] Alone, alone it's nothing I wouldn't do for you Lord there's nothing in this world, baby (oh! ow!) I wouldn't do for you If a shark bit off both my legs You know that seamen on land turn to sand (ha ha, ooohwee baby) Oh, turn my poor self over And crawl home to you on my hands (somebody better come here I suspect baby) Lord, there ain't nothing in this world, baby (hmmmmm) I wouldn't do for you Pickup on this, pickup baby, pickup, pickup — this the blues, y'hear? Lookee here baby Mmmmm uunnnh, mmmm, uh, uh, unnnnnnh Oh! Lord have mercy baby Yeah yeah yeah yah ah, ahummmm You take me home this morning And make my long house turn up [?] On my head
