Tall Tales and Sailin’ Men

He was a hearty sailing man
Who loved to sail the sea
Had many a misfortune, but angry no not he
One nighta sittin’ in the town tavern he was a tellin’ his tale
Now as ya all see mate’s
I have a wooden leg, a hook for me arm,
and a patch over me eye.
A mate from another ship yells
Say Cappy......How did ya lose yur leg?
Well mate it was on a stormy night
Had a little to much ale I did.
Fell right in that ole rollin’ sea
Well me mates pulled me in and a mean ole shark bit me leg off clear up to me knee
As ya see I have an ole wooden leg
Must have been mighty painful Cappy?
Yes sir! Mighty painful
How did you lose yur arm Cappy?
Did ya lose it at sea?
No mate....Lost that in a barroom fight
This mean ole varmit pinned me down and cut off me arm right up to me elbow
Now I have me a hook for me arm and hand
Boy Cappy that must have been painful?
Yes sir! Mighty painful
Did you lose yur eye at sea Cappy?
Yep....... I shore did.
A big ole seagull was a flyin’ by
I was a lookin’ up and plop right into me eye
Boy Cappy did it have a lot of acid in it?
Is that why you lost yur eye?
Well ! No Mate.
It was my first day with me hook................

Love To Ya Mate's
