Lyrics
Mark Twain
Four fathoms off the star board bow.
I got a gal named Cindy Lou
Feeds me gin and baked beans too
Ma-ah-ah-ark Twain.

Mark Twain
Three fathoms off the star board bow.
I got a friend his name is Pete
Sings dirty songs down on Beale Street
Ma-ah-ah-ark Twain.

Mark Twain
Two fathoms off the star board bow.
Been workin’ on the river since ninety two
Get a penny a day and bad liquor too
Ma-ah-ah-ark Twain.

I’m gonna save my money till I die
They gonna bury me all but my good right eye
Ma-ah-ah-ark Twain.

Mark Twain
No fathoms off the star board bow.
Look out, Skipper put her to the side.
You’re gonna bust your bow and split your hide
Oh, great God we done run a-ground Skipper
Go chase me with a big blood hound
Ma-ah-ah-ark Twain.
