(Gordon Bok)
The ways of man are passing strange
He buys his
freedom and he counts his change
Then he lets the wind his days arrange
And he calls the
tide his master
Oh the days, oh the days
Oh the fine long summer days
The fish
come rolling in the bays
And he swore he'd never leave me
But the days grow short
and the year gets old
And the fish won't stay where the water's cold
And if they're going
to fill the hold
They've got to go offshore to find them
So they go outside on the
raving deep
And they pray the Lord their soul to keep
But the waves will roll them all to
sleep
And the tide will be their keeper
Oh the tide, oh the tide
Oh you dark
and you bitter tide
If I can't have him by my side
I guess I have to leave
him
I gave you one, I gave you two
The best that rotten old boat could do
You
wouldn't be happy till I gave you three
But I'll be damned if you'll get me
Oh the
tide, oh the tide,
Oh you dark and you bitter tide
If I can't have him by my side
The
water's welcome to him
Oh Lord I know that the day will come
When one less boat
comes slogging home
I don't mind knowing that he'll be the one
But I can't spend my whole
life praying
I gave you one, I gave you two
The best that poor old boat could
do
You'd have it all before you're through
Well I've got no more to give
you
