Webb Pierce - Country Legends: The Unforgettable Webb Pierce

Shanghied

I played around in Chinatown
Passing the time away
When Black Jack Red hit me in the head
And when I woke up next day
I was many miles away
I was shanghied on an ocean freighter
I was shanghied eatin' beans and Taters
I was shanghied on an ocean freighter
And I want to get back to the shore
Back to the Gold Coast shore

They throwed me off in old Hong Kong
And put me on my own
Not a penny in my pockets
Ten thousand miles from home
That's a mighty long ways from home
I was shanghied in old Hong Kong
I was shanghied I was all alone
I was shanghied want to get back home
Back to the Gold Coast shore
Back to the Gold Coast shore

I worked for grub on an old Dutch tub
And wound up in L.A.
But a pretty little girl took me on a whirl
And when I woke up next day
And when I woke up next day
I was shanghied for the rest of my life
I was shanghied but that's all right
I was shanghied I got a pretty little wife
And I'm never leaving home no more
Never leaving home no more.
