Big Ship Blues Lyrics

Kokomo Arnold Big Ship Blues

Now this big ship was a‑rocking : and my body's filled
with aches and pains
Now if I get across the Atlantic Ocean : good people I
will not live to Spain

Now the big tide is rising : you better lower your
anchors down
Now if we don't make the circle : we never will get back
to New York town

Now why don't you people quit laughing : I feel mighty
sad in my mind
Said this big fog go to rising : and a cyclone is right
behind

Now I feels bad : nobody seems to want to go my way
Says this big ship going to leaking : right between
midnight and day

Now I see something shining : daylight is breaking all
around
Soon as we make a few more lurches : I will be right back
in New York town
