6 Months In A Leaky Boat lyrics

When I was a young boy,
I wanted to sail round the world,
That`s the life for me,
Living on the sea.
Spirit of a sailor,
Circumnavigates the globe,
The lust of a pioneer,
Will acknowledge no frontier.

I remember you by
Thunder clap in the sky,
Lightning flash, tempers flare,
Round the Horn if you dare.

I just spent 6 months in a leaky boat,
Lucky just to keep afloat.

Ay-o-ay, ay-o-ay, ay-o-ay.

Aotearoa, rugged individual,
Glisten like a pearl,
At the bottom of the world.
The tyranny of distance,
Didn`t stop the cavalier,
So why should it stop me,
I`ll conquer and stay free.

Ah, c`mon all you lads,
Let`s forget and forgive,
There`s a world to explore,
Tales to tell back on shore.

I just spent 6 months in a leaky boat,
6 months in a leaky boat.

Ay-o-ay, ay-o-ay, ay-o-ay.

Repeat verse 1.
