I like black and white

dream in black in white

you like black and white

run runaway

Chorus:

See chameleon lying there in the sun

all things to everyone

run runaway

if your in the swing

money ain't everything

if your in the swing

run runaway

Chorus

if you got it sussed (to figure out)

don't beat around the bush

if you got it sussed

run runaway

From the first hello you gave to me
I've done nothing else but smile
And I know you're in a hurry
but its gonna take a while.
So forgive me if we go slow,
but there's something I think you should know...

Chorus:
I'm goin fast as I can, please don't make me rush
this feeling's coming on way too fast
I'll tell you all of the things that you'll never forget

I drank 16 doubles for the price of one
tryin to find the courage to talk to one
I asked her for a dance, not a second glance
my night had just begun

Well I'd drink to the father or the holy ghost
i'm kneeling at the alter of my nightly post
so I’ll raise a glass, not the first or last
come join me in this toast

Chorus
because the old black rum’s got a hold on me

CHORUS
Oh, won't you come along with me, love.
Come along with me.
Come for the night, and be my wife.
Yeah, come along with me. Hey!

Well, it is of a jolly butcher, as you might plainly see.
As he rode on out one moring, in search of company.
He went into a tavern, and a fair girl he did see,
Aw, come for the night. Be my wife.
Just come along with me.

CHORUS:
And its go boys go
They'll time your every breath
And every day in this place your two days near to death
But you go...
Well a process man am I and I'm tellin' you no lie
I work and breathe among the fumes that tread across the sky
There's thunder all around me and there's poison in the air
There's a lousy smell that smacks of hell and dust all in me hair

Well old Lukey's boat is painted green,
Ha, me boys!
Lukey's boat is painted green,
The prettiest boat that you've ever seen,
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!
Well oh, Lukey's boat's got a fine fore cutty,
Ha, me boys!
Lukey's boat's got a fine fore cutty,
And every seam is chinked with putty,
A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!
Altogether, A-ha, me boys a-riddle-i-day!

I left my home and family by the ocean
Out on my own, to seek my fortune
But there is no work to occupy these young hands
So look out boy you're heading for the mainland

(Chorus)What do you do? You can't make nothing out of nothing
Everbody needs a start
What do you do? You can't make nothing our of nothing
In my country back is heart.

Well, I was born on a St.John's street

There's a neat little lass and her name is Mari-Mac,
And make no mistake she's the girl I'm gonna track,
Lot's of other fellas tryin' to get her on her back,
But I'm thinkin' that they'll have to get up early.
Mari-Mac's mother's makin' Mari-Mac marry me,
My mother's makin' me marry Mari-Mac,
Well I'm gonna marry Mari for when Mari's takin' care of me,

CHORUS:
We'll rant and we'll roar like true Newfoundlanders
We'll rant and we'll roar on deck and below
Until we strikes bottom inside the two sunkers
When straight through the channel to Toslow we'll go
I'm a son of a sea cook, I'm a cook in a trader
I can dance, I can sing, I can reef the main boom
I can handle a jigger, I cuts a fine figure
Whenever I gets in a boats standing room

I stayed awake for hours again last night
searching for a reason to keep up the fight
I've made choices I don't regret
I've got problems I don't get
I didn't want to carry the heavier load
You can't always take the middle road
There comes a time when you make up your mind
And the point get left behind
CHORUS:
Oh lets wait one more day for the conversation
One more day to make it right

I stayed awake for hours again last night
Searchin' for a reasong to keep up the fight
I've made choices I'll regret
I've got problems I don't get
I didn't wanna carry the heavier load
You can't always take the middle road
There comes a time when you make up your mind
And the point gets left behind

(Chorus) Let's wait one more day for the conversation
One more day to make it right

Ah, well come gather all around me
There is something you should know
There is no place quite like this place
If we get it on the go
So, pile your boots up in the corner
Hang your jacket from the door
There's thirty people in the kitchen
And there's always room for more

Chorus:
oh-oh-oh, Come on now
Let's lock the world outside
oh-oh-oh, Come on I tell you now

I'm sorry if I ruined your day
I really hope that you understand
I'm a million miles away
Looking for a place to land
My father phoned me yesterday
Your time has come, well done my son
Tried to think of what to say
When words came he'd already gone

Chorus:
I don't know how I got here
There must be something to it
I think I need some time alone
To work my way through it

Only name Table Rogers a share man am I
On a three-masted scooner from Twelingate Isle
I've been the world over North, South, East and West
But the middle of nowhere's where I likes it best

Where it's wave over wave sea over bow
I'm as happy a man as the sea will allow
There's no other life for a sailor like me
Than to sail the salt sea boys to sail the sea
