So, bottle me up and throw me over
Let me float until I reach the shore
Bottle me up, a 12 once rover
Don’t pop my cork until I find amour

Too many days I’ve lost and squandered
Too many nights I’ve drifted far from my own home
Too many ways, I’ve gone and wandered
Too many years have kept me sad and all alone
CHORUS

Adrift at sea, I lost my anchor
The sirens are no longer calling me
If she would drown me, I just might thank her
At least my heart would be at rest and free
CHORUS

There was a day, when I grew wary
The women lined up just to talk with me
I had my choice, of which to marry
But I thought I’d find a better life at sea
CHORUS
