[Intro]
[Verse]
The first boat I put out to sea
I didn t know where that boat was going
All I want was away from here
And all I knew was keep on rowing
[Verse]
The first boat I took out to sea
I wouldn t have none to sail with me
None to row and none to tow
And none to stow my cargo down
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
When I come a rollin through the calm
And all my guiding stars were gone
There was three old sailors by my helm
Tell me I don t sail alone
[Verse]
One named Peter, one named Saul
And one don t claim no name at all
One to sing and one to haul
And one to heave me when I fall
[Verse]
When I stumble on the reef
I have three good sailors take my grief
One to sail and one to bail
And one to hold me when I wail
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
So when the wind comes stavin more
I won t need to run for harbour
I don t need to reef and tack
Cause I don t need to bring her back
[Verse]
And fog and foul or fair and free
It s all the flamin same to me
Cause all the good hands ever sail
Are rollin down my weather rail
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
And when I come for makin land
I got three good sailors to my hand
One to stay and one to pray
And one to lay this anchor down
[Verse]
And if I hoist my sail again
Come in sun or go in rain
All the sailors in the sea
Come hand and haul and steer with me
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
One to row and one to tow
And one to ease me when I go
One to row and one to tow
And one to heave me when I go
