Song Information:
Had to go back to the basics and base of all rock and roll and play a little blues. I wrote the lyrics to this song while playing my guitar on the stern of the last ship I worked on in the Indian Ocean. Just a little Jam about "BLUES" working, money, and the X. (The picture is of me working on the main engine on our ship) I thought it was appropriate due to the lyrics.
Song Lyrics:
"Deep Sea Blues"
I was shook down
drinking in public the other day
Yeah I was shook down
cops wouln't let me get away
Well I was feelin' so good
till my baby left me astray
She said ta get the hell out
be gone by the end of today
I said get the hell out?
What for Anyway?
She said you drink to much
and you spent up all your pay
Well doctor, doctor I need a fix
A budwieser and some cancer sticks
I'm going down
Down Alcoholics way
I got two cent's a dime
and an intoxicated mind
Well my moneys gone
and I'm back out to sea
yeah my moneys gone
and I'm back out to sea
Well a sailors life
will have to do for me
And now I'm hot and sweaty
turning wrenches all day long
yeah I;m hot and sweaty
turning wrenches all day long
I got the deep sea blues
cause sailing ain't no cruise
Yeah...
