Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Silly boy, oh, what were you thinking?
You should've been sinking your ship
So when they get there and look for your treasure
There won't be any treasure left
[PreChorus]
They will not know where your mother is stowed
'Cause by now she'd be gasping for breath
She's under the water
Under the water now
[Verse 2]
Undertaker, why are you here now?
You know that I'm not quite dead yet
And I know, oh, I know, you cannot have me
Until I have paid off my debt
[PreChorus]
As for my mother, you know I still owe her
There's something you seem to forget
She's under the water
Under the water now
[Chorus]
Well now, pull up my anchor
Well now, pull up my anchor
Well now, pull up my anchor
Baby, don't let me die
I wanna live now
I'm just so damn high
That I can see the surface
[Verse 3]
Mother is sunken, son, he is drunken
But father still stands upon land
I see him clearly, standing there shoreside
And offering said son his hand
[PreChorus]
I see the callus and rope burn in his palm
And it makes me want to be a man
Pull up my anchor
Pull my anchor now
[Chorus]
Well now, pull up my anchor
Well now, pull up my anchor
Well now, pull up my anchor
Baby, don't let me die
I wanna live now
I'm just so damn high
I can see the surface
[Outro]
Baby, don't let me die
I wanna live now
I'm just so damn high
And I can see the surface
