I Had A Little Boat

[Ivor Cutler]
I had a little boat
I set it on the water
I wrote a little message
I stuck it in the funnel
And sent it to my true love
Who lives across the ocean
She never got the message
My little boat turned over
When two feet from the sea shore
[Trevor Tompkins]
Hey Ivor that's about 24 inches, isn’t it?
[Ivor Cutler]
I've lost my concentration
I cannot remember the message
She never got the message
[Gill Lyons]
'Ere, Ivor ain’t sent us a message in a long time
