Thirteen nights to shore That's what I bargained for Six months gone a hired hand Roll over the snow and ice Every day is a roll of the dice Dreamin' of hot, dried sand Lord, if I'd only known how cold and lonely The sea could be without company, I'd say So long to my ocean home So long to my dear sea, I'm going home Wash my face in the salty water I've got a date with the captain's daughter Card game in the captain's shack Bet my watch, got it back And an old swingin' picture on a nail Her name was Annebel I knew I would walk through hell To see that face when we dropped sail Lord, if I'd only known how cold and lonely The sea could be without company, I'd say So long to my ocean home So long to my dear sea, I'm going home Wash my face in the salty water I've got a date with the captain's daughter We heard the thunder clap As the night came on pitch black I tried to yell through the howlin' wind The last thing I knew was the icy cold As that briny wave swallowed me whole Lord, if I'd only known how cold and lonely The sea could be without company, I'd say So long to my ocean home So long to my dear sea, I'm going home Wash my face in the salty water I've got a date with the captain's daughter With the captain's daughter
