"Every Dog Has Its Day (Live)" lyrics

Well I've drunk to drown, on every ocean I've been
Lake Tanganyika, where the crocodiles swim
Halifax, Nova Scotia to Van Diemen's Land

Well I drank with the Sultan, down the Suez Canal

'Cause every dog has its day
Like every woman, she gets her own way
And if there's a ship that sails tonight
I'll captain that too, just to be there with you

Well there was old Jerry Rooney, who was mad as a mule
Spillblood Maloney had a head like one too
That night on the bridge, with my shovel in hand
Well he threatened to kill me, for sure he picked the wrong man

'Cause every dog has its day
Like every woman, she gets her own way
And if there's a ship that sails tonight
I'll captain that too, just to be there with you

Well there was mutiny in Lagos, aboard the mean ship skandi
Ten or twelve days in prison, 'til the bastards set me free
McCloskey you're free

'Cause every dog has its day
Like every woman, she gets her own way
And if there's a ship that sails tonight
I'll captain that too, just to be there with you

Now I love the sea, and she wants me back
So I leave this ol' harbor, with the wind at me back
Goodbye mother Theresa, I hope the kids settle down
I must head for the Chinas, pray to God I don't drown

One! Two!
For every dog has its day
Like every woman, she gets her own way
And if there's a ship that sails tonight
I'll captain that too

'Cause every dog has its day
Like every woman, she gets her own way
And if there's a ship that sails tonight
I'll captain that too, too! Too! Just to be there with you!
Just to be there with you!
Just to be there with you!
Just to be there with you!
Just to be there with you
