When I Get Back to Shore Lyrics

We're gonna break out the wine my dear
We're gonna break out the wine my dear
We're gonna break out the wine my dear, I know
'Cause there's a hangman there with all his charms
And he's waiting for me with open arms
We're gonna break out the wine when I get back to shore
And the sun's gonna shine, my dear
Oh yeah, the sun's gonna shine, my dear
Oh yeah, the sun's gonna shine, my dear I know
Well I know I should have made that call
But I've been making friends with alcohol
And the sun's gonna shine when I get back to shore
I've been gone so long you know I've grown
And now I can't fit under that headstone

You're gonna play me a sweet old tune
You're gonna play me a sweet old tune
You're gonna play me a sweet old tune, I know
You're goinna play me a song in a minor key
And serenade what's left of me
You're gonna play me a tune when I get back to shore
We're gonna break out the wine my dear
We're gonna break out the wine my dear
We're gonna break out the wine my dear, I know
'Cause there's a hangman there with all his charms
And he's waiting for me with open arms
We're gonna break out the wine when I get back to shore
We're gonna break out the wine when I get back to shore
