The Ranger Lyrics

[Verse 1]
4 o'clock in the morning, a new day's beginning to clear
The fishing boats dance on the dawning
The Ranger pulls out from the pier
We've said goodbye to the ones we love
Back on the shore
Got tanks full of diesel, got ice in the hold
We're ready once more

[Chorus]
And the tide runs hard through the Blackhole
And the crew go below for a sleep
I pick out the lights that don't matter
We're bound where the ocean is deep
It's 7 long hours to the Stanton
But the Ranger's well fit for the trip
A couple of tows round the banks and we'll have
90 boxes of fish in the ship

[Verse 2]
Now I come from seafaring people Now I've worked the sea all my life
Can mend, I can splice, I'm a skipper
I'll put surgeons to shame with a knife
It's all that I know and there's no other place
That I'd rather be
Than rolling around on the top of the waves
The Ranger and me
[Chorus]
And the tide runs hard through the Blackhole
And the crew go below for a sleep
I pick out the lights that don't matter
We're bound where the ocean is deep
It's 7 long hours to the Stanton
But the Ranger's well fit for the trip
A couple of tows round the banks and we'll have
90 boxes of fish in the ship
