about

For George Cole

lyrics

I was just a young boy, when I took over my home
The weight of the world Lord, made these young shoulders old
But I didn't know no different, so I took it in my stride
And mama never told me of the letter that you'd died

Saying cover me over, and push me out to sea
There I can drift away, happy as can be

Then I wasn't even yet a man, when I took off down that road
Heading for the city Lord, to send my riches home
Well I worked where I could get it, in the yard or in the ring
And if I had to choose Lord, I'd do it all again

So cover me over, and push me out to sea
There I can drift away, happy as can be

Then I got to see this country, working in the travelling show
Went abroad to fight a war, but which one I don't know
Well I settled down and lost it all, settled down once more
Bought myself a fishing boat and went back to your shore

Where they can cover me over, and push me out to sea
There I can drift away, happy as can be

Now my mind ain't what it used to be, that much I do know
And if I'll ever get it back, well only time will show
But remember what I said to ya, when the Lord does come for me
Take me down to granddaddy's spot, and pull that anchor free

And cover me over, and push me out to sea
There I can drift away, happy as can be
