[bodytext] => Servin' me hard time on boat that's steamin',
doin' me best keepin' engines goin', stokin' fire and me sweat greatly streamin', dripping, I must keep the coal a throwin'. Gotta stay the furnace face a glowin', breakin' me back goin' somewhere so far. Haven't seen the light of day not knowin' time when I could see a lonesome bright star. Why did I drink wine with Rose in Mike' Bar? She bedeviled me with wine and sweet kiss. Old tooth liquored me good, showing me scar. She slips me a Micky these good eyes miss. Leavin' bucket o' bad rusty bolts sure. Taking me chance jumping boat when we moor.
