We'll Carry On

() INtro - (verse 1) If the waves roll rough as in days before Still we put our boats to sea The take has been tough, we're counting on more To make the season pay (verse 2) It was back in '83 my brothers and me laid our poor father in his grave Even though he's dead and gone, his voice lives on In the hiss and pull of the waves We'll carry on, carry on sing these words through all the damage done The old salt would say, I my father's son Come hell or high water We'll carry on, (verse 3) In smokey gray rooms, beneath bare lightbulbs, The accusations fly What the hell do they want, they've taken enough From this way of life once mine Chorus and Verse4 It's a merciless scheme, not a fisherman's dream The way the tide has turned For not long before, by these restless shores A man could his living earn Chorus ending Hell or high water Hell or high water Hell or high water we'll carry
