Poem Number 173
Jerry sez to Tom ' do you think that we should bother
to check the compass - man, it could'nt be mch farther
Tom didnt answer back - he was starein' into the sky
thinkin' would it be great , if only i could cry
Jerry screamed for water , up to the burning sun
Tom said he needed land so he'd be able to run
back home to my girl and your could go home to your wife
forget about this ship we're on and go on with our life
      the sun burned hot - food they had not
      flesh scorched red
      no land around - will burned down
wishin' they were dead - wish that i was dead
Tom said if we could only catch a little breeze
then i'll shout i got no doubt , we'd be home with ease
away from this endless voyage we're both upon
with only a compass, a book, a hook , some string and the sun
Tom said if we could only spot some land
then i'd kiss the ground and crawl around until i could stand
and i'd run home to my girl and you'd be home with your wife
forget about this god-damned boat and go on with our life
      the sun burned hot- food they had not
      flesh scorched red
      no land around- hardly a sound
      wished they were dead
      the sun bured hot - food they had not
      flesh scorched red
      no land found - will burned down
      wishin' they were dead
wish that i was dead
