High and Dry

Gordon Lightfoot

With aE lady-likeE devotion
She Esails the bitter Eocean
If it Awasn't for lovesick Asailors
There'd be Anothin' left but Eflotsam


CHORUS capo 5
Singin' Bwhy me oh Amy
Is there a Ebetter man than AI
I hope you Efind your way back Bhome
Before you Elie high and Adry
I hope you Efind your way back Bhome
Before you EdieB



CHORUS
Singin' Ewhy me oh Dmy
Is there a Abetter man than DI
I hope you Afind your way back Ehome
Before you Alie high and Ddry
I hope you Afind your way back Ehome
Before you AdieE



Her Asails blow like Abubbles
While ya Asip yer daily Adoubles
If she Dwasn't so fond of the Dweather
She might Dgive the deckhands Atrouble

:chorus


One Aday when I grew Aolder
And I Afound I could not Ahold her
She Dtook on a fine young Dskipper
Who soon Drun her up on a Aboulder


:chorus


VERSE 4
Now the Apleasures of the Aharbor
Don't Ainclude a lady Abarber
If it Dwasn't for Long John DSilver
All of us Dpirates would've been Amartyrs



:chorus
