Song Lyrics

What's it cost you, darling?
What's it cost you, darling?
What's it cost you? What's it cost you?
Not very much

I got no people here on my boat
Just a hot jug of wine and a net full of hope
I got no money but I'm still afloat
Lost my luck to the wind so I row and I row

I got this girl who waits back on the shore, oh, Lord
Sees me row, says she don't know what for, that's all
Ain't got no fish when I'm at her door
But in the morning when I leave she's begging for more, and more

I got no people here on my boat
Just a hot jug of wine and a net full of hope, that's all
I got no money but I'm still afloat
Lost my luck to the wind so I row and I row, yeah

This cat and mouse game surely must end, oh, Lord
Catch all the fish, who'll left to be friends? That's all
Back home it's too tough I can't cope
But in the land of fish, I know someday I will be home

I got no people here on my boat
Just a hot jug of wine and a net full of hope, I do know
I got no money but I'm still afloat
Lost my luck to the wind so I row and I row

What's it cost you, darling?
What's it cost you, darling?
What's it cost you? What's it cost you?
Not very much

Everybody must get drunk

I got no people here on my boat
Just a hot jug of wine and a net full of hope
I got no money but I'm still afloat
Lost my luck to the wind so I row and I row

Everybody must get drunk
