Sodden and Salty

Intro

Hey

Ho

Hey

Ho

Verse 1

Buckets of saltwater splashing the pine

Moving south past the shoreline where rocky cliffs rise

Winter wind wanders

Bitter waves bite at the bow

We head where the seagulls go circling round

Pre-Chorus

Pass me the bottle

Pass me the cup

Lift up your spirits

Drink it all up

Chorus

Pull on the ropes until the linen turns tight

Riding the crest of the swell through the night

Over the ocean

Over the blue

Over the horizon I'm coming for you

Verse 2

Rattle the rigging

Copper coins rattling deep in my coat

Iron locks rusting on letters she wrote

Seven years sailing

Sodden and salty and sore

Chasing the gales back to Ireland's green shore

Pre-Chorus

Pass me the bottle

Pass me the cup

Lift up your spirits

Drink it all up

Chorus

Pull on the ropes until the linen turns tight

Riding the crest of the swell through the night

Over the ocean

Over the blue

Over the horizon I'm coming for you

Bridge

Fiddle plays loud while the timber starts groaning

Wind in the mast like a widow who's moaning

One more mile

One more glass

One more day till we reach the green grass

Chorus

Pull on the ropes until the linen turns tight

Riding the crest of the swell through the night

Over the ocean

Over the blue

Over the horizon I'm coming for you

Post-Chorus

Heave away

Haul away

Heave away
