Talking Sailor Blues - Jack Elliott[00:00:00]

In bed with my woman just singin' the blues[00:00:15]

Heard the radio tellin' the news[00:00:17]

That the big Red Army took a hundred towns[00:00:21]

And Allies droppin' them two-ton bombs[00:00:23]

Started hollerin' yellin' dancin' up and down like a bullfrog[00:00:27]

Doorbell rung and in come a man[00:00:41]

I signed my name I got a telegram[00:00:43]

Said If you wanna take a vacation trip[00:00:45]

Got a dish-washin' job on a Liberty ship[00:00:49]

Woman a-cryin' me a-flyin' out the door and down the line[00:00:56]

'Bout two minutes I run ten blocks[00:01:13]

I come to my ship down at the dock[00:01:15]

Walked up the plank and I signed my name[00:01:17]

Blowed that whistle was gone again[00:01:22]

Right on out and down the stream[00:01:26]

Ships as fur as my eye can see woman a-waitin'[00:01:29]

Ship loaded down with TNT[00:01:46]

All out across the rollin' sea[00:01:48]

Stood on the deck watched the fishes swim[00:01:50]

I'se a-prayin' them fish wasn't made out of tin[00:01:55]

Sharks porpoises jellybeans[00:01:59]

Rainbow trouts mudcats jugars all over that water[00:02:05]

This convoy's the biggest I ever did see[00:02:22]

Stretches all the way out across the sea[00:02:24]

And the ships blow the whistles and a-rang her bells[00:02:26]

Gonna blow them fascists all to hell[00:02:30]

Win some freedom liberty stuff like that[00:02:35]

Walked to the tail stood on the stern[00:02:46]

Lookin' at the big brass screw blade turn[00:02:48]

Listened to the sound of the engine pound[00:02:56]

Gained sixteen feet every time it went around[00:03:02]

Gettin' closer and closer look out you fascists[00:03:08]

I'm just one of the merchant crew[00:03:18]

I belong to the union called the N.M.U[00:03:20]

I'm a union man from head to toe[00:03:25]

I'm U.S.A and C.I.O[00:03:30]

Fightin' out here on the waters to win some freedom on the land[00:03:36]
