Great Big Sea - Lukey Lyrics

Great Big Sea Lyrics

"Lukey"

Well old Lukey's boat is painted green
Ha, me boys!
Lukey's boat is painted green
The prettiest boat that you've ever seen
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!
Well oh, Lukey's boat's got a fine fore cutty
Ha, me boys!
Lukey's boat's got a fine fore cutty
And every seam is chinked with putty
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!
Altogether, a-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!

Well I says "Lukey the blinds are down"
Ha, me boys!
I says "Lukey the blinds are down"
"Me wife is dead and she's underground"
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!

Well I says Lukey "I don't care"
Ha, me boys!
I says Lukey "I don't care"
"I'll get me another in the spring of the year"
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!

Well old Lukey's rolling out his grub
Ha, me boys!
Lukey's rolling out his grub
One split pea in a ten-pound tub
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!

Well, Lukey's boat's got high-topped sails
Ha, me boys!
Lukey's boat's got high-topped sails
The sheet was planched with copper nails
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!

Lukey's boat is painted green
Ha, me boys!
Lukey's boat is painted green
It's the prettiest boat that you've ever seen
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!
Altogether, a-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!
One more, a-ha, me boys a riddle-i-day!
