Kimber's Men — Leaky ship lyrics

Lyrics

Here we come home on a leaky ship
A leaky ship, a leaky ship,
Here we come home on a leaky ship
And away boys away
Oh leave her Johnny you can pump no more
Pump no more, pump no more
Pump or drown and we’ve had full store
And away boys away
Oh pump me boys or we shall drown,
Or we shall drown, or we shall drown
Don’t you feel her settling down
And away boys away
Oh pump me boys the old man said
The old man said, the old man said
Or else damn sure we’ll all be dead
And away boys away
Oh pump me boys down them pump holes bright,
Pump holes bright, pump holes bright
There’ll be no sleep for us tonight
And away boys away
The starboard pump is like the crew
Like the crew, like the crew
It’s all worn out and it just won’t do
And away boys away
Oh leave her Johnny you can pump no more
Pump no more, pump no more
You’ll soon be standing on dry shore
And away boys away
Here we come home on a leaky ship
A leaky ship, a leaky ship,
Here we come home on a leaky ship
And away boys away
