We re taking on water, diesel and stores 

Laying up awhile before I m back on board 

They re patching her up 

To go fishing again, fishing again

They re welding her rudder scrubbing her keel 

Scars on her belly need time to heal 

In the dock 

With the trawlermen 

I know all the people, there s nobody new 

Soon we ll be leaving with the same old crew 

On the green water the tumbling sea 

They ain t running like the good old days 

Time s just slipping Down the old slipways 

In the dock so dear to me 

[Chorus]

Dark is the night, I need a guiding light 

To keep me from foundering 

On the rocks 

My only prayer is just to see you there 

At the end of my wandering 

Back in the dock 

[Instrumental bridge] C  Am D Bm F Em B B7 Em 

I could use a layoff, getting my strength back 

But there s a loan to pay off  and a few skipjack 

So it s a turnaround 

Back in the southerly wind 

Pirates coming in to steal our gold 

You can count yourself lucky with a profit in the hold 

In the dock when we come in 

Dark is the night, I need a guiding light 

To keep me from foundering 

On the rocks 

My only prayer is just to see you there 

At the end of my wandering 

Back in the dock 

Song ends:

                      . . .

Final guitar solo:    

        4:03
