Marching Inland

 

Lord Nelson knew the perfect way to cure your malgam-aire

And if you pav attention, his secret I will share

To anv seasick sailoråe gives this advise for free

If vou-re feeling seasick. sit underneath a tree

 

Chorus

I'm marching inland from the shore

Over me shoulder I'm carrying an oar

When someone asks me "What is that funny thing you've got?"

Then I'll know I'll never go to sea no more, no more

Then I'll know I'll never go to sea no more.

 

Columbus he set sail to find out if the world was round

He set out sailing Westward until he ran a-ground

He thought he'd reached the Indies but he reached the USA

We know some navigators who can still do that today

 

Now Drake is in his hammock and a thousand miles away

Rendell's Revenge is at the bottom of the bay

Many the famous sailor never came back from the sea

Just takemy adviseyJack,come & follow me-

 

So sailors take the warning from the men of high renown

When you're sailin's over and you want to settle down

Never drop your anchor less than 90 miles from shore

Or there'll always be temptation to be off to sea once more.
