Standing on a rocky shore
All the time since he was born
Sweetest heart and a mother’s love
Come pouring through from heaven above
He wears black but he plays in blue
One shoulder high the other makes do
He plays and he plays and he plays his tune
Til the light comes shining through the winter’s moon
Oh Boy went fishing in a-waters blue
Oh Boy went looking for his way through
Oh Boy knows about something true
And he hopes the morning comes around soon
Break
When he plays, she always sings
She dances to all the trouble he brings
When he plays she shines and watches and drinks
She wears velvet and a ruby red ring
He wears black to cover his tracks
Only she can find him dressed like that
He goes out walking on a lonesome path
She never knows when he’s coming on back
Oh Boy went fishing in a-waters blue
Oh Boy went looking for his way through
Oh Boy knows about something true
And he hopes the morning comes around soon
Oh Boy knows about something true
And he hopes the morning comes around soon
