From the recording Shiva Me Timbers
Lyrics
You Were There Too
We fools three
Set to sea
To make good on a deal
But poor Frank
His heart sank
As he lost his last meal
As we stepped off the boat
And into the blue
I wished that you were there too
Not your scene
New Orleans
‘cause it gave you a scare
Mikes poor head
It dripped red
When he fell off that chair
As we waited in the ER
For an hour or two
I wished that you were there too
I try to be a good man
But I always fail
You’re a fine, fine woman
I’m a ne’er do well
I’m back home
But you’re gone
To live in a cave
My tirades
Your charades
No face you could save
As I wrap my rags round me
Think I’ve got the flu
I wished that you were there too
Don’t you wish that you were there too
