Boat Stuck
Born 1954, M, from Cocoa Beach/FL, United StatesBoat Stuck
Gordon England
2012
I sailed away on an Abaco breeze
Running away from a northern freeze
I anchored up near Pelican Cay
Watched gold sunsets over the bay
Blue green water clear as gin
Invited me to dive right in
I saw rainbow fish hide and play
Hitched a ride on a manta ray
When I looked back up my boat was gone
Anchor line broke, help me mon
Boat’s aground on shallow reef
Mother Ocean became a thief
Boat stuck
On this rock
The funs all gone and sun so hot
Boat stuck
On this rock
Sharks around eat me not
I called for help on my radio
But nobody heard my tale of woe
To pass the time I drank gold rum
Hoping another boat would come
Boat stuck
On this rock
The funs all gone and sun so hot
Boat stuck
On this rock
Sharks all around eat me not
Alternate Refrain
May day may day
My boat got stuck
May day may day
I ran outta luck
