Silver Wave

It was '22 or '23, I was fishin' for Bobby T

Only got to work one run before the season's work was done

Won't you stack them neat and stack them low?

Only 13 hours to go

And when he sunk the Pamela Ray

I figured I'd never fish another day

But I was lucky, I was saved

Now I'm cookin' and stackin' on the Silver Wave

Won't you stack them neat and stack them low?

Only 13 hours to go

A brand new crew and a brand new net

We caught ten, 000 on the very first set

Listen to the squeal of the power block

And the seagulls cry on Blakely Rock

Won't you stack them neat and stack them low?

Only 13 hours to go

The chum were filling up the deck

Jellies stinging my eyes and neck

I've had seldom better days

Than cookin' and stackin' on the Silver Wave

Won't you stack them neat and stack them low?

Only 13 hours to go

If I keep on stackin' on the slimy deck

That old lead's gonna break my neck

You dream of Paris and New York

But I just dream I'm piling cork

Won't you stack them neat and stack them low?

Only 13 hours to go

See that skiff boy swayin' rock

See that jumper out at nine o'clock

If I was skipper I'd sit around

In my morning slippers and my evening gown

Won't you stack them neat and stack them low?

Only 13 hours to go

Won't you stack them neat and stack them low?

Only 13 hours to go
