  1. I’m not tired of the wind, I’m not weary of the sea
    \nBut she’s probably had a bellyful of a damned old coot like me
    \nI’m goin’ ashore, she’s bound for better days
    \nBut I’ll see her topsails flyin’ as I come down off the waves, ohChorus
    \n<\/em>Rosie get my Sunday shoes, Gertie get my walkin’ cane
    \nWe’ll take another walk to see old Alice<\/em> sail again.<\/li>\n
  2. Wish I had a nickel for the men I used to know
    \nWho could load three cords of lumber in a half an hour or so
    \nWho could put up sail by haulin’, ‘stead of donkeyin’ around
    \nThen I’d be the poorest coaster man, this side of Edgartown.<\/li>\n
  3. Any fool can run an engine, it takes brains to work a sail
    \nNever seen no steamer make much good out of a gale
    \nYou can go an pay your taxes on the rationed gas you get
    \nBut at least to me, the wind is free and they haven’t run out yet.<\/li>\n
  4. If I ever get back to her, you know I’d treat her just the same
    \nJibe her when I want to, sail in the freezing rain
    \nPark old Alice<\/em> on the beach and go dancin’ in the town
    \n‘Cause a man who’s fit for hangin’ probably never will get drowned.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
