Billy Bones And The White Bird Lyrics

Take The Wheel I Hear
The Timbers Creaking
Take The Wheel I Think
This Ship Is Sinking
Jamaica Seems So Far And
I’ve Been Thinking
Old Billy Bones Has Gone
To Sea And Quit His
Dockside Drinking

Check It Out, Check It Out,
Check It Out
And When I’m Dead Who’ll
Fly The White Bird Home
I’m Not The Ancient Mariner
Your Children Know
And The Sea’s The Field
These Old Jack Tars Have Sown
`cause Billy Bones Just Wants
To Know Who’ll Fly The
White Bird Home

Oh Your Majesty, Your Majesty
I Heard The Boson Cry
Old Billy Bones Has Washed Ashore
Upon A Foreign Tide
