Mark Lanegan - Shanty Man`s Life слова песни
Steven Harrison Paulus*note:it has been said that the versionof this song done by Dave Van Ronk is the onethat inspired Lanegan to record it. A shanty man`s lifeIs a wearisome oneThough some say it`s free from careIt`s the swinging of an axeFrom morning `till nightIn the forest wild and drearTransported as we areFrom a lady so fairTo the banks of some lonely streamWhere the wolf, bear, and owlGive a terrifying howlAnd disturb our nightly dreamsOh sleeping at nightIn our bunks without cheerWhile the cold winter winds do blowBut as soon as the morning Star does appearTo the wild woods we must goHad we ale, wine, or beerOur spirits far to cheerWhen we`re in those woods so wildWhere a glass of whiskey shoneWhen we`re in the woods aloneFor to pass away our long exileA shanty man`s lifeIs a wearisome oneTho some say it`s free from careIt`s the swinging of an axeFrom morning `till nightIn the forest wild and drear
