The Ballad Of C.c. Boudreaux Lyrics

Zachary Richard The Ballad Of C.c. Boudreaux

I've seen it all,
How many ports of call
All the way from Al Hudayeh
Yokohama to Bombay
And Panama.

Not a bad life,
In the merchant marine,
Not a wife but many lovers,
A tatoo for all the others
Above my heart.

I'm going home to Louisiana.
See the old folks back at home.
All my wandering days are over.
I want to see you again.

So many friends,
So many friends I have lost.
I've seen men
Break down on the ocean,
Pray to God to calm the storm.
To calm the storm.

There's the lights on the port of Houston.
It won't be long before we're through.
It won't be long before it's over,
I want to see you again.
