[Intro]
[Verse 1]
She’s eighty foot of steel and holds a hardened (hard and?) hardy crew
Stacked with pots and boys we’ve got a lot of work to do
Let the gail blow to hell, it’s all the same to me
I love my job, I love this boat, I love the salty sea
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
Been three long days upon the waves, to the Bering Sea we’re bound
We’ll do our best, there’ll be no rest ‘til we leave these fishing grounds
Let the gail blow to hell, it’s all the same to me
I love my job, I love this boat, I love the salty sea
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
Hear the wind wailin’ now, full of ice and snow
It’s watch your step on a slippery deck, or to Davy Jones you’ll go
Let the gail blow to hell, it’s all the same to me
I love my job, I love this boat, I love the salty sea
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]
When the season’s done I’ll be heading home to a harbor far away
I’ll pass the time with friends of mine ‘til I fish another day
Let the gail blow to hell, it’s all the same to me
I love my job, I love this boat, I love the salty sea
[Outro]
Let the gail blow to hell, it’s all the same to me
I love my job, I love this boat, I love the salty sea
[Instrumental]
