I met a tugboat captain The stories he could tell Of a sailor's life in the shallow water The saddest yarn he'd spin, it happened on dry land He saw his house fall down It shed it's bricks and it dropped to the ground Ah, well, made him feel so bad, he thinks about it and he crys. Ah, well, made him feel so mad, Don't want to think about it now. You never walk out, or even look away He had a house torn down, swipe a deed and start breaking ground Drop some mortar, we'll be ripping up your asphalt Another house goes down, and another house, and another drops to the ground, drops to the ground
