Lyrics

Kipper the skipper, a man ae' the waves
He'll remember yer name in the morning
Pour him a dram and he'll tell ye a tale
The wan where a whale eats a dolphin
And the run in's wi mermaids, and engines a failin
An icebergs a' tearin a hole in his boat
Dreamin ae' land, wi' a jar in his hand
And the feelin ae' sand in his toes
So here's yin fir the wee man, in the swell far away fae the land
Only waves, he can see, only waves, he can see
Twenty three, forty, he's up in the north sea
Tryin to catch him a wage
And the pollack and cod, are all scarce and he'll reelin
Kipper is feelin his age
And the run ins wi mermaids, an' engines a failin
An' icebergs a' tearin a hole in his boat
Dreamin ae' land, wi a jar in his hand
And the feelin ae' sand in his toes
So here's yin fir the wee man, in the swell far away fae the land
Only waves, he can see, only waves, he can see
And we're all sittin here safe, as Kipper is grinding away
He's as old as he feels, he's as old as he feels
