"A "C" Shanty" lyrics

He was a captain of the navy
And born to be a sailor
When I was just a lad
He never talked about it much

But now he's found the proof of God
And I wanna big adventure
So someday I will sail the seas
To see what he has seen

One sparrow, two sparrows
Ending of the journey
That you had
Across the ocean
Every sea and every shore

I've traveled North America
But never crossed the ocean
And like my mother's father
I don't talk about it much

But I could probably fool you
I swear just like a sailor
So pass the rum
You son of a bitch
I'll drink until I'm gone

One sparrow, two sparrows
Ending of the journey
That you had
Across the ocean
Every sea and every shore

Well, when my mother's mother
Passed away my mother's father
Had a bottle-a rum a day
Until he died a broken heart
Because you see my mother's father
Was a-married to the sea
Until he met my mother's mother
And he had to marry she

One sparrow, two sparrows
Ending of the journey
That you had
Across the ocean
Every sea and every shore

One sparrow, two sparrows
I just wanna love somebody
Deeper than the ocean
Every sea and every shore
