The Ballad of C.C. Boudreaux - Zachary Richard

I've seen it all

How many ports of call

All the way from Al Hudayeh

Yokohama to Bombay

And Panama

Not a bad life

In the merchant marine

Not a wife but many lovers

A tatoo for all the others

Above my heart

I'm going home to Louisiana

See the old folks back at home

All my wandering days are over

I want to see you again

So many friends

So many friends I have lost

I've seen men

Break down on the ocean

Pray to God to calm the storm

To calm the storm

There's the lights on the port of Houston

It won't be long before we're through

It won't be long before it's over

I want to see you

See you again
