Shocked Michelle Prodigal Daughter Patch-Eye And Meg Michelle Shocked (Poly Gram Songs, Inc) Remembering back when I was a kid, I'd slip down to the docks To watch the old men carving wood, watch the sailors tying knots But the thing I remember best was grey-haired old Patch-Eye And the stories that he'd tell me 'bout his younger days as we watched those ships go by hfill He'd talk about his missing eye, he'd talk all about his wooden leg But he never talked about the old tattoo on his right arm that said ``Meg'' He said he was captain of a pirate ship sailing seas both blue and green Then he said that all pirate's got to have have a patch so as they can look real mean He'd made the bad guys walk the plank, the pretty ladies he would save And then he'd take the treasure from the ship and then he'd sink it to a watery grave He'd talk about his missing eye, he'd talk about his wooden leg But he'd never talk about the old tattoo of brown-haired, blue-eyed Meg He told me a story 'bout his wooden leg as he sat there spinning yarns Once he lost it to a mamba snake, down in the Amazon Another time it was way out west in a gunfight, or so he said Oh but that's all right boy, man's got to legs, you know he could have lost his head He told me all about his missing eye, he told me all about his wooden leg But he took the story to the grave about the tattoo that said ``Meg'' He told me how he lost his eye and how he lost leg But he never told me how he lost the love of brown-haired, blue-eyed Meg |
