When I Get Back To Shore Songtext / Lyric

We're gonna break out the wine my dear

We're gonna break out the wine my dear

We're gonna break out the wine my dear, I know

'Cause there's a hangman there with all his charms

And he's waiting for me with open arms

We're gonna break out the wine when I get back to shore



And the sun's gonna shine, my dear

Oh yeah, the sun's gonna shine, my dear

Oh yeah, the sun's gonna shine, my dear I know

Well I know I should have made that call

But I've been making friends with alcohol

And the sun's gonna shine when I get back to shore






I've been gone so long you know I've grown

And now I can't fit under that headstone



You're gonna play me a sweet old tune

You're gonna play me a sweet old tune

You're gonna play me a sweet old tune, I know

You're gonna play me a song in a minor key

And serenade what's left of me

You're gonna play me a tune when I get back to shore



We're gonna break out the wine my dear

We're gonna break out the wine my dear

We're gonna break out the wine my dear, I know

'Cause there's a hangman there with all his charms

And he's waiting for me with open arms

We're gonna break out the wine when I get back to shore

We're gonna break out the wine when I get back to shore
