Oh Chocolay
Well I was a boatman on the ol Chocolay I would do boating day after day
And then one morning in the dew and the fog I met that dear mermaid sweet Lucy McGraw
Oh Chocolay old Chocolay A man could go crazy all the games that you play
Forevers my longing when I am away keep on rolling my darling you ol Chocolay
Well she had two ears two eyes and a nose but there were no feet no place for her toes
Oh she was a mermaid she swam and she swam past the old bridge under the waterfall Dam
Oh Chocolay old Chocolay A man could go crazy all the games that you play
Forevers my longing when I am away keep on rolling my darling you ol Chocolay
I tried to rope her with a reef knot or two to help her stand up like girls with legs do
But she wanted bigger like the sea or a sound no salty old boatman could tie Lucy Down
It was late in December and the water was high thru the mist of the evening I could hear Lucy cry
For she was caught up in a net of her own device I never thought once I'd ever think Twice
Well now if you should see her with her tattoos and tears tell her I miss her through all These long years
Then I would not wonder whatever became of Lucy McGraw and that old dam I still Blame
Oh Chocolay old Chocolay A man could go crazy all the games that you play
Forevers my longing when I am away keep on rollin my darlin you ol Chocolay
And then one morning in the dew and the fog I met that dear mermaid sweet Lucy McGraw
Oh Chocolay old Chocolay A man could go crazy all the games that you play
Forevers my longing when I am away keep on rolling my darling you ol Chocolay
Well she had two ears two eyes and a nose but there were no feet no place for her toes
Oh she was a mermaid she swam and she swam past the old bridge under the waterfall Dam
Oh Chocolay old Chocolay A man could go crazy all the games that you play
Forevers my longing when I am away keep on rolling my darling you ol Chocolay
I tried to rope her with a reef knot or two to help her stand up like girls with legs do
But she wanted bigger like the sea or a sound no salty old boatman could tie Lucy Down
It was late in December and the water was high thru the mist of the evening I could hear Lucy cry
For she was caught up in a net of her own device I never thought once I'd ever think Twice
Well now if you should see her with her tattoos and tears tell her I miss her through all These long years
Then I would not wonder whatever became of Lucy McGraw and that old dam I still Blame
Oh Chocolay old Chocolay A man could go crazy all the games that you play
Forevers my longing when I am away keep on rollin my darlin you ol Chocolay
