Lyrics:
I thought I heard the old char say,
“Last call, boys, it’s over!”
All the grain’s run dry
Meat’s drowned in flies
And it’s marrow for the morrow
Nothing left to savor now
The wind’s not in our favor
We’ve dined our last
Worst’s come to pass
And it’s marrow for the morrow
I thought I heard the old char say,
“Last call, boys, it’s over!”
All the grain’s run dry
Meat’s drowned in flies
And it’s marrow for the morrow
Nothing fresh, hearty, sweet
The galley’s stripped of sundries
Last drop of drink
Now we’re in the sink
And it’s marrow for the morrow.
I thought I heard the old char say,
“Last call, boys, it’s over!”
All the grain’s run dry
Meat’s drowned in flies
And it’s marrow for the morrow
I dream of meat, her precious heat
Sipping stew and brandy
Tender sear today,
Then the old char say,
Boys, it’s marrow for the morrow
Marrow for the morrow (x2)
