So, bottle me up and throw me over Let me float until I reach the shore Bottle me up, a 12 once rover Don’t pop my cork until I find amour Too many days I’ve lost and squandered Too many nights I’ve drifted far from my own home Too many ways, I’ve gone and wandered Too many years have kept me sad and all alone CHORUS Adrift at sea, I lost my anchor The sirens are no longer calling me If she would drown me, I just might thank her At least my heart would be at rest and free CHORUS There was a day, when I grew wary The women lined up just to talk with me I had my choice, of which to marry But I thought I’d find a better life at sea CHORUS
