Drunken Billy
Whiskey Bards

Bill was once a sailor on a great and noble ship nBut Billy had a problem, from a flask he liked to sip nYes, Billy liked his ale and rum nInto a bottle he would run nAnd drink himself both blind and dumb nHis work began to slip nnWe would often see him with a flask clutched in his fist nAnd when we gave him orders he would only get the gist nAnd if we pulled up near a beach nAnd there was rum just out of reach nHe’d try to drain it like a leech nAnd everything would list nnDrunken Billy sails the ocean blue nBut starboard’s hard to find nThe only port he ever knew nWas of the drinkin’ kind nHe couldn’t tell his fore from aft nHis directions are the worst nThe unkind Fates all point and laugh nThat drunken helmsman’s cursed nnThere are many dangers for a good ship of the realm nFor storm and pirates often would a good crew overwhelm nBut one thing every sailor knew nWhen danger struck out of the blue nYou could be certain this was true n‘Twas Billy at the helm nnDrunken Billy sails the ocean blue nBut starboard’s hard to find nThe only port he ever knew nWas of the drinkin’ kind nHe couldn’t tell his fore from aft nHis directions are the worst nThe unkind Fates all point and laugh nThat drunken helmsman’s cursed nnBilly wasn’t sober when he sailed into the night nHe thought a flash of lightning was a flickering tavern light nHe turned the wheel to pull her in nThe sky let loose with quite a din nThe crew thought of their next of kin nThe ship sank out of sight nnDrunken Billy sails the ocean blue nBut starboard’s hard to find nThe only port he ever knew nWas of the drinkin’ kind nHe couldn’t tell his fore from aft nHis directions are the worst nThe unkind Fates all point and laugh nThat drunken helmsman’s cursed nnBilly made it to a lifeboat though he feared the worst nHe spied a ghostly ship and knew in doom he was immersed nThe ship pulled up to take him on nHe knew his hopes and dreams were gone nThe ghostly Captain said, “Hang on...” n“I hear that helmsman’s cursed!” nnDrunken Billy sails the ocean blue nBut starboard’s hard to find nThe only port he ever knew nWas of the drinkin’ kind nHe couldn’t tell his fore from aft nAnd now he never will nHe’d be better off in land based craft nInstead of some old leaky raft nThe unkind Fates all point and laugh nHe’s in that lifeboat still. nnDrunken Billy sails the ocean blue nBut starboard’s hard to find nThe only port he ever knew nWas of the drinkin’ kind nHe couldn’t tell his fore from aft nHis directions are the worst nThe unkind Fates all point and laugh nThat drunken helmsman’s cursed
