Horse Overboard

Lyrics

While I was away at sea With boilers, cargo and gin My wife still lived alone In our cottage by the lake Each night I kissed her face In the photograph And I dreamed of a happy day When I'd be moving back Can we sleep alone? We can sleep alone One horse overboard We do what we want When she was just six years old Her daddy found her a horse First she was a stable girl Then a teacher of youth Came the day I came home We moved into the city Both of us over sixteen Can we sleep alone? We can sleep alone One horse overboard We do what we want It struck me about this time That I just didn't care So I said, "Get me to another land I don't want my wife." Can we sleep alone? My wife is a horse Poor old sailor boy Beached for evermore For evermore For evermore For evermore Evermore Ever and ever and ever and ever and ever
