Lukey Songtext
von Great Big Sea

Well old Lukey′s boat is painted green,
Ha, me boys!
Lukey's boat is painted green,
The prettiest boat that you′ve ever seen,
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!
Well oh, Lukey's boat's got a fine fore cutty,
Ha, me boys!
Lukey′s boat′s got a fine fore cutty,
And every seam is chinked with putty,
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!
Altogether, A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!

Well I says "Lukey the blinds are down"
Ha, me boys!
I says "Lukey the blinds are down"
"Me wife is dead and she's underground"
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!


Well I says Lukey "I don′t care"
Ha, me boys!
I says Lukey "I don't care"
"I′ll get me another in the spring of the year"
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!

Well old Lukey's rolling out his grub,
Ha, me boys!
Lukey′s rolling out his grub,
One split pea in a ten pound tub,
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!

Well, Lukey's boat's got high-topped sails,
Ha, me boys!
Lukey′s boat′s got high-topped sails,
The sheet was planched with copper nails,
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!


Lukey's boat is painted green,
Ha, me boys!
Lukey′s boat is painted green,
It's the prettiest boat that you′ve ever seen,
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!
Altogether, A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!
One more, A-ha, me boys a riddle-i-day!
