We’re all gonna die some day nautical version


Cindy Tonkin - April 7, 2025

Nautical lyrics by Cindy Tonkin to the tune of Kasey Chambers We’re all gonna die some day

We’re all gonna die someday, Lord
We’re all gonna die someday
In a ship on high seas
Short life expectancy
But we’re all gonna die someday

We all got scurvy bad (lord)
We all got scurvy bad
We got scurvy so bad no fruit to be had
But we’re all gonna die some die

Now we gotta swab the decks
If we all swab the decks then we get good pecs

Let’s all heave a pawl
Lets heave a pawl rain hail or squall

Climb that rigging now
If you climb that rigging now you won’t have to push a plough

X marks the treasure spot
X marks the treasure spot where we put the stuff we got

Let’s all go get drunk
We gotta get drunk ‘fore the ship gets sunk

Extra verses if you want to swap some out.

……

Let’s all row me bully boys row
If we row my bully boys it will make a pow’ful noise

Don’t make me walk the plank
If you make me walk the plank ship might sank
