[Verse 1]
There's good money, don't you fear said the man down by the pier
For the sea is alive and it's callin'
Won't you chasten the black gold, where once the hurting showed
There's black gold in the deep waters, Johnny
[Verse 2]
Where the north sea wind is blowin'
And the day is a lifetime too long
Where we drill, sweat and toil to take the ocean's oil
There's black gold in the deep waters, Johnny
[Verse 3]
There are men from Scapa Flow and the kid from Sandy Row
SEDCO men who look all spiff and sparkle
On a money-spendin' binge, joy-ridin' on the rigs
And you'll chase the new black gold without your gargle
[Verse 4]
Where the north sea wind is blowin'
And the day is a lifetime too long
Where we drill, sweat and toil to take the ocean's oil
There's black gold in the deep waters, Johnny
[Verse 5]
There's 12 hour shifts to do, playin' nurse-mate to the crew
There's a loneliness and fear in empty oceans
From the Shetlands to the Kesh, they're chasin' oil instead of fish
For black gold in the deep waters, Johnny
[Verse 6]
Where the north sea wind is blowin'
And the day is a lifetime too long
Where we drill, sweat and toil to take the ocean's oil
There's black gold in the deep waters, Johnny
[Verse 7]
For the rig's me second home, sittin' pretty over the foam
A way of life that's new to every nation
And there's a hundred extra quid to go divin' with the squid
For black gold in the deep waters, Johnny
[Verse 8]
Where the north sea wind is blowin'
And the day is a lifetime too long
Where we drill, sweat and toil to take the ocean's oil
There's black gold in the deep waters, Johnny
Where the north sea wind is blowin'
And the day is a lifetime too long
Where we drill, sweat and toil to take the ocean's oil
There's black gold in the deep waters, Johnny
