lirik lagu al duvall - newport news
three weeks we’ve been stuck on this ship in the doldrums
this barn on the sea without silo or cow
a far piece from land, let alone east virginia
we must have been shanghaied, but i can’t reckon how
three weeks in the doldrums, we’ve all gone blind billiards
we bicker and brawl to the sirens’ sweet song
the boatswain’s been bad, gives himself twenty lashes
the captain sashays in a dress from hong kong
if ever we get home to newport news harbor
we’ll hoot as the main mast collapses in flames
then back to the mountains where nothing is starboard
a way up the chesapeake, potomac, and james
we’ve seen some queer folk and we’ve had some odd vittles
we feuded with pirates and men with blue skin
we’ve l!cked at red honey from hives of moskeeters
the moonshine’s all gone, so we’ve drunk rum and gin
some’s rutted with ladies with pails on their faces
some’s chawed sweet tobacky from morocco and such
we’ve been round the world but we hone for the holler
where they pipe in the daylight and don’t trifle much
if ever we get home to newport news harbor
we’ll hoot as the main mast collapses in flames
then back to the mountains where nothing is starboard
a way up the chesapeake, potomac, and james
now the old man’s a~howlin’, and westwards we’re sailin’
the mountaineers plumb and the miners work low
if the good lord don’t rise and the ocean is willin’
those williamsburg girls will soon have us in tow
if ever we get home to newport news harbor
we’ll hoot as the main mast collapses in flames
then back to the mountains where nothing is starboard
a way up the chesapeake, potomac, and james
