Barnacle Bill the Sailor

Barnacle Bill, The Saylor - Hoagy Carmichael/Lou Raderman

Who's that knocking at my door

Who's that knocking at my door

Who's that knocking at my door

Cried the fair young maiden

It's only me from over the sea

Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor

I'm all lit up like a Christmas tree

Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor

I'll sail the sea until I croak

I fight and swear and drink and smoke

But I can't swim a bloody stroke

Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor

I'll come down and let you in

I'll come down and let you in

I'll come down and let you in

Cried the fair young maiden

Well hurry before I bust in the door

Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor

I'll cuss and fuss and rant and roar

Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor

I'll spin you yarns and tell you lies

I'll drink your wine and eat your pies

I'll kiss your cheek and black your eyes

Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor
