Shanty Man's Life - Dave Van Ronk[00:00:00]
A shanty man's life is a wearisome one[00:00:06]
Though some say it's free from care[00:00:14]
It's the swinging of an axe from morning 'til night[00:00:22]
In the forest wild and drear[00:00:30]
Transported as we are from a lady so fair[00:00:38]
To the banks of some lonely stream[00:00:45]
Where the wolf bear and owl[00:00:53]
Give a terrifying howl and disturb our nightly dreams[00:00:57]
Oh sleeping at night in our bunks without cheer[00:01:09]
While the cold winter winds do blow[00:01:17]
But as soon as the morning star does appear[00:01:24]
To the wild woods we must go[00:01:32]
Had we ale wine or beer our spirits far to cheer[00:01:40]
When we're in those woods so wild[00:01:48]
Where a glass of whiskey shone [00:01:55]
While we're in the woods alone[00:01:59]
For to pass away our long exile[00:02:03]
A shanty man's life is a wearisome one[00:02:44]
Though some say it's free from care[00:02:51]
It's the swinging of an axe from morning 'til night[00:02:59]
In the forest wild and drear[00:03:06]
