It's Hard to Be a Shantyman (On Christmas)
It's Christmas time
There's silence on the sea
It's Christmas time
The bag's frozen in my tea
All I want is something else to do
Than get lashed with me crew
It's hard to be a shantyman on Christmas
I should have known
My letters were in vain
'Cos Santa's sleigh
Won't brave this shipping lane
Frozen ropes are all I have to hold
But nothing feels so cold
As being a shantyman on Christmas
I have the deck but there's no halls
No carols like a sirens call
No deer inside but rain it pours in droves
All year it's haul and pull and hoist
I'm losing hope I've lost my voice
I sure could use some Christmas cheer back home
But alas It's Christmas time (oh-oh-oh-oh)
I fear just like the last (ooh-ooh)
Put up my lights (ah-ah-ah-ah)
And tinsel round the mast
Grin and try to find some Yuletide cheer
But I can't find it here
It's hard to be a shantyman on Christmas
Woe is me the shantyman on Christmas
So think about the shantyman this Christmas
There's silence on the sea
It's Christmas time
The bag's frozen in my tea
All I want is something else to do
Than get lashed with me crew
It's hard to be a shantyman on Christmas
I should have known
My letters were in vain
'Cos Santa's sleigh
Won't brave this shipping lane
Frozen ropes are all I have to hold
But nothing feels so cold
As being a shantyman on Christmas
I have the deck but there's no halls
No carols like a sirens call
No deer inside but rain it pours in droves
All year it's haul and pull and hoist
I'm losing hope I've lost my voice
I sure could use some Christmas cheer back home
But alas It's Christmas time (oh-oh-oh-oh)
I fear just like the last (ooh-ooh)
Put up my lights (ah-ah-ah-ah)
And tinsel round the mast
Grin and try to find some Yuletide cheer
But I can't find it here
It's hard to be a shantyman on Christmas
Woe is me the shantyman on Christmas
So think about the shantyman this Christmas
