Snap The Line Tight

Intro: (4x) I've got a halibut boat, the opening is over The fish just weren't biting, our catch is way down We're salvagers now, there's logs that are waiting We pull 'em off shore and we sell them in town And we'll snap the line tight Haul them away Snap the line tight She's rocking, she's free Snap the line tight Haul them away And slide 'em off into the sea INTERLUDE: (2x) How many thousands of acres of forest Lie scattered and heaped by the wind and the tide Well, the companies cut them and boomed them and lost them And left them forever to rot where they lie She's a six foot thick hemlock, half-sunken in sand Gotta dig out a hole to pass the line through Wrap her around and when she's tied and ready Then stand clear away and signal the crew To snap the line tight Haul them away Snap the line tight She's rocking, she's free Snap the line tight Haul them away And slide 'em off into the sea INTERLUDE: (2x) It's thirty-six hours we've been without sleep Gotta boom them by dawn if we're making this tide It's a five hour haul with a Nor'wester blowing And a starboard-side swell for a bloody rough ride And our back deck's a mess of anchors and peaveys All sliding and tangling in cables and chains We're in the middle with chokers and pike-poles To wrap the logs tight so they're not lost again And we'll snap the line tight Haul them away Snap the line tight She's rocking, she's free Snap the line tight Haul them away And slide 'em off into the sea We'll snap the line tight Haul them away Snap the line tight She's rocking, she's free Snap the line tight Haul them away And slide 'em off into the sea We'll snap the line tight Haul them away Snap the line tight She's rocking, she's free Snap the line tight Haul them away And slide 'em off into the sea We'll snap the line tight Haul them away Snap the line tight She's rocking, she's free Snap the line tight Haul them away And slide 'em off into the sea
