Marching Inland
Words: Tom Lewis.
Lord Nelson knew the perfect way to cure your 'mal-de-mer',
When someone asks me: "What's that funny thing you've got?" Then I know I'll never go to sea no more, no more, Then I know I'll never go to sea no more! He kept on sailing to the West until he ran aground, He thought he'd found the Indies but he'd found the U.S.A., I know some navigators who can still do that today.
Grenville's "Revenge" is at the bottom of the bay, Many's the famous sailor never came home from the sea, Just take my advice, Jack, come and follow me.
When you leave the ocean and it's time to settle down, Never cast your anchor less than ninety miles from shore, There'd always be temptation to be off to sea once more.
