Turn that Boat Around

By Jimmy Rankin

Brave the lonesome wind
Sail the cold deep water
Brave the lonesome wind
Sail the cold deep water

The wind will see them home
The sea will do no harm
Turn that boat around
Wait the sons and daughters
Long time gone
But nothing’s lost forgotten
Turn that boat around

There’s plenty there for all
Break open the doors and hatches
Avoid the rocks and squalls
Fill the hold with catches

The wind will see them home
The sea will do no harm
Turn that boat around
Wait the bonnie lassies
Long time gone
But nothing’s lost forgotten
Turn that boat around

The wind will see you home
The sea will do no harm
Turn that boat around
