When I Get Back To Shore by Thea Gilmore 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 gravestone

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 gonna 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
