Текст песни Half Mast Blues - The Lazys

Well I was crashed at the bar outside of Pirate's Cove
There was a full moon rising from the sea below
When she sat next to me I thought my heart would explode
She was a mermaid queen I had to crack her code

I took her back to the ship, she had the finest of curves
Drank a half pint of whiskey just to calm my nerves
Now I'm walking the plank and I'm seeing in twos
'Cause the boy's in trouble with the half mast blues

Oh baby please understand
Don't abandon the ship, you know I'm better than that

I'm gonna wake the skipper, fire the guns, yeah
Shiver me timbers, drink a barrel of rum
Yeah, we've all been stuck in Jolly Roger's shoes
When the boy's in trouble with the half mast blues

When I woke up this morning she was already gone
And my head was like an anchor on the ocean floor
Had to find her again before she cast me ashore
She left a treasure map of clues that led me to her door

With a rose in my teeth said "Please forgive my sins"
A dirty look on her face but still she poured me a gin
And the next thing I know it was a quarter past two
And again I had the curse of the half mast blues

Oh baby please understand
Don't abandon the ship, you know I'm better than that

I'm gonna wake the skipper, fire the guns, yeah
Shiver me timbers, drink a barrel of rum
Yeah, we've all been stuck in Jolly Roger's shoes
When the boy's in trouble with the half mast blues

And then she looked in my eyes as she opened her purse
She said the third time's the charm, we're gonna break this curse
Don't need silver and gold to win her back in the end
Yeah a little blue diamond is a girl's best friend

I'm gonna wake the skipper, fire the guns, yeah
Shiver me timbers, drink a barrel of rum
Yeah, we've all been stuck in Jolly Roger's shoes
When the boy's in trouble with the half mast blues

Wake the skipper, fire the guns, yeah
Shiver me timbers, drink a barrel of rum
Yeah, we've all been stuck in Jolly Roger's shoes
When the boy's in trouble with the half mast blues
