lyrics

Well, the river,
(Well the river)
Was roaring by.
And the water,
(And the water)
Was rolling high.
And my tears, fell down for you.
<Do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do>
Like the fishies,
(Like the fishies)
In the sea.
In the water,
(In the water)
I long to be.
And sail out this misery.
<Do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do>
Well, I asked every bird and fishy that went by.
(Went by, went buy, went buy)
How like them I could live high and dry.
<Ooo, aaah; ooo-aaah, ooo-aaah, ooo-aaah, ooo-aaah, ooo!>
Like the birdies,
(Like the birdies)
In the sky.
From this ground,
(From this ground)
I long to fly.
And sail away from this damn town.
<Do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do>
But you’re the reason,
(You’re the reason)
That I’m here.
And like the water,
(Like the water)
Your love’s unclear.
And in the mud and the water I will drown.
<Do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do>
[CHORUS]
I ask you Lord,
(Ask you Lord)
Why is it me?
To suffer,
(To suffer)
Just like thee.
For a love much more stronger than yours.
And the river,
(And the river)
Was roaring by.
And the water,
(And the water)
Was rolling high.
And my tears, fell down for you.
<Do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do>

The Jolly Rogers Kansas City, Missouri

Pirates before pirates were cool. The Jolly Rogers were born as the Earth still cooled, waaaay back in 1991. Bringing maritime music, sea shanties, drinking and bawdy songs to audiences before pirates were all the rage, they've been a main stage act at venues across America and Europe. ... more
