Allison Crowe - Newfoundland Vinyl 3

Lukey’s Boat

Lukey's boat is painted green, aha, me boys
Lukey's boat is painted green
The prettiest little boat you ever seen
Aha, aha, me riddle I day

Lukey's boat got a fine fore cutty, aha, me boys
Lukey's boat got a fine fore cutty
And every seam is chinked with putty
Aha, aha, me riddle I day

Lukey's boat got high stop sails, aha, me boys
Lukey's boat got high stop sails
And she was planched with copper nails
Aha, aha, me riddle I day

I think, says Lukey, I'll make her bigger, aha, me boys
I think, says Lukey, I'll make her bigger
I'll load her down with a one claw jigger
Aha, aha, me riddle I day

Lukey's rolling out his grub, aha, me boys
Lukey's rolling out his grub
One split pea in a ten pound tub
Aha, aha, me riddle I day

Aha, says Lukey, the blinds are down, aha, me boys
Aha, says Lukey, the blinds are down
Me wife is dead and underground
Aha, aha, me riddle I day

Aha, says Lukey, I don't care, aha, me boys
Aha, says Lukey, I don't care
I'll get me another in the spring of the year
Aha, aha, me riddle I day
