Great Big Sea - Lukey lyrics

rate me

Well oh, Lukey's boat is painted green,

Ha, me boys!

Lukey's boat is painted green,

The prettiest boat that you've ever seen,

A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!

A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!

Well oh, Lukey's boat's got a fine fore cuddy,

Ha, me boys!

Lukey's boat's got a fine fore cuddy,

And every seam is chinked with putty,

A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!

A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!

Well I says "Lukey the blinds are down"

Ha, me boys!

I says "Lukey the blinds are down"

"Me wife is dead and she's underground"

A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!

A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day

Well I says Lukey "I don't care"

Ha, me boys!

I says Lukey "I don't care"

"I'll get me another in the spring of the year"

A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!

A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!

Oh, Lukey's rolling out his grub,

Ha, me boys!

Lukey's rolling out his grub,

One split pea, and a ten pound tub,

A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!

A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!

Well, Lukey's boat's got high-topped sails,

Ha, me boys!

Lukey's boat's got high-topped sails

The sheet was planted with copper nails,

A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!

A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!

Lukey's boat is painted green,

Ha, me boys!

Lukey's boat is painted green,

It's the prettiest boat that you've ever seen,

A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!

A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!

A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!
