Donne the Boat Boy

Donne the boat boy, swimming in the moat, boy
Jiggers all the rigging shakes the rats from the oat store
Hopping left and right fighting lines from the port side
Short ride, moat toy, Donny Donne the boat boy!
(Short ride, moat toy, Donny Donne the boat boy!)

Dawn, the skyline. Donne, my boy, it's boat time!
Standing on the edge, the ledge of babes becoming hard lined
Make a quick decision do you leave or do you sail here
Do you anchor, meet your Maker Donny do you ride the breaker?
(Do you anchor, meet your Maker, Donny do you ride the breaker?)
HEY THERE DONNY DONNE, DONNY SING YOUR SAILOR SONG!

Hey, hey, hey! Diddle hey, diddle hey, here!
Hey, hey, hey, trade a krone for a song!
Donny on the shore side, Donny on the bay ride
Donny on the downer and the day's all done!

Hey hey! Hey hey!

Donne, with your friends gone, Donny sailed his life long
Washing weary worries never loving more than waves, frothed
Sloshed, simple sailor sending men across the world, joy
Donny with your float ploy, no more little boat boy
(Donny with your float ploy, no more little boat boy.)

Donne at the end now, Sailed the world from port, bow
Never saved a penny, still the richest man I knew, how?
Ev'ry thing he earned was in his heart a simple memory
Women, towns, ale of brown, breads and pies and mermaid's eyes
Fish a swimming waves a crashing, he's just fine so thanks for asking!
HEY THERE DONNY DONNE, HOW THE HELL'D YOU LIVE SO LONG?

Hey, hey, hey! Diddle hey, diddle hey, here!
Hey, hey, hey, trade a krone for a song!
Donny on the shore side, Donny on the bay ride
Donny on the downer and the day's all done!

Hey, hey, hey! Diddle hey, diddle hey, here!
Hey, hey, hey, trade a krone for a song!
Donny on the shore side, Donny on the bay ride
Donny on the downer and the day's all done!

Donne at the day's end, saw the world and then again
Donny on the downer and the day's all done! Ah!
