Lyrics The Real McKenzies

The Real McKenzies

Mainland

Are you oneside awright gonna turn the tide

We're shippin' out for the mainland

Gotta passion the waves are splashin'

A landlubber from the mainland

Tell me are ye fit (damnright)

Can ye make the trip

Sea fair on sailor

gonna set sail loaded to the gunwails

Can't keep me from the mainland

We're comin' aboard comin' aboard

So all ashore that's goin' ashore

All hands on the deck (aye aye)

Let's see some respect

It's a ticket to the mainland

This ship will happen

She got the best captain

An old salt from the mainland

Ye ever bin ta sea (yes indeed)

Hangin' on the breeze

Full sail to the mainland

Up in the crow's nest

Is where you see the sea the best

Fair sailin' my fair friend
