I’ll captain that too
Like every woman, she gets her own way
Till the bastards set me free, McCluskey you’re free
Like every woman, she gets her own way
And just to be there with you
And if there’s a ship that sails tonight
Well, he threatened to kill me, for sure he picked the wrong man
I must head for the Chinas, pray to God, I don’t drown
Like every woman, she gets her own way
Well, I drank with the Sultan, down the Suez Canal
'Cause every dog has its day
That night on the bridge, with my shovel in hand
'Cause every dog has its day
Like every woman, she gets her own way
I’ll captain that too, just to be there with you
Just to be there with you
I’ll captain that too, just to be there with you
And if there’s a ship that sails tonight
For every dog has its day
Too, down just to be there with you
Now I love the sea and she wants me back
I’ll captain that too, just to be there with you
Spillblood Maloney had a head like one too
And if there’s a ship that sails tonight
And if there’s a ship that sails tonight
'Cause every dog has its day
Goodbye Mother Theresa, I hope the kids settle down
Ten or twelve days in prison
Aboard the mean ship Skondi
Well, there was mutiny in Lagos
And if there’s a ship that sails tonight
So I leave this ol’ harbor, with the wind at my back
Like every woman, she gets her own way
'Cause every dog has its day
Halifax, Nova Scotia to Van Diemen’s land
Just to be there with you
I’ll captain that too
Well, there was old Jerry Rooney, who was mad as a mule
