Lyrics
Oh this ship is made of paper
Alone, alone I sail the seven seas
Call my mother, more money
Alone, alone it's nothing I wouldn't do for you
Lord there's nothing in this world, baby
Oh, ow
I wouldn't do for you
If a shark bit off both my legs
You know that seamen on land turn to sand
All week, baby
Oh, turn my poor self over
And crawl home to you on my hands
Somebody better come here I suspect baby
Lord, there ain't nothing in this world, baby
Hmm, mmm, I wouldn't do for you
Pickup on this, pickup baby, pickup, pickup
This the blues, ya hear
Look here baby
Mmm uh, mmm, uh, uh, mmm
Oh, ooh
Oh, Lord have mercy baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yah ah, ah hmm
You take me home this morning
And make my long house turn up, ha-ha
On my head
