MARCHING INLAND

(Tom Lewis)



Lord Nelson had a sure fire way of curing mal-de-mer

And if you pay attention, his secret I will share

To any seasick sailor, he'd give this advice for free

If you're feeling seasick, sit underneath a tree



C G7 F C / C - G C G / C G C F G7 / F G7 C / F G7 C



I'm marching inland from the shore

Over me shoulder I'm carrying an oar

When someone asks what is that funny thing you've got

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

Than I know I'll never go to sea no more



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

He kept up sailing to the West until he ran aground

He thought he found the Indians but he found the USA

I know some navigators who can still do that today



CHORUS



Drake is in his hammock and a thousand miles away

Grenville's revenge is at the bottom of the bay

Many famous sailors never came home from the sea

Just take my advice, Jack, and come and follow me



CHORUS



So sailors take a warning from these men of high renown

When you leave the ocean and its time to settle down

Never cast your anchor less than ninety miles from shore

There'll always be temptation to be off to sea once more



CHORUS
