Get on board
CHORUS I am wading I am splashing
Now I’m swimming yeah I am floating
Need to get there it’s a long way
Will I ever get on board
V1 All my folks are buried in the lawn
It gives rise to jokes about keeping the bodies warm
They’ll stay there til the end of time
Meanwhile everything they left behind is mine
CHORUS I am wading I am splashing ....
V2 tell me more about the old canal
Is it true that people go to meet there
Why do they hide among the weeds and junk
It is right for them to get so drunk
CHORUS I am wading I am splashing ....
INSTRUMENTAL AND KEY CHANGE
CHORUS I am crying I am weeping
Endless tears for what is done
Need to tell you what is coming
Now I’ll never get on board
