My Luck Is So Bad-The Real McKenzies

My Luck Is So Bad - The Real McKenzies We are all born free but forever live in chains and we battle to exist and soldier on We'll take whatever comes to be while keeping hopeful melody And we'll cruise through the darkness until the warmth of dawn So row row you bastards you never can tell Through water like glass above a briney hell So row and a-hollar come give her all you can Or the sea she will best us, we'll never see the land We carry on the burden and we hide our grimace well For the day will come for us to mutiny But as long as we survive our hope and pride they cant deprive And we'll carry on our melody to sing in harmony So row row you bastards you never can tell Over water like glass above a briney hell So row and a-hollar come give her all you can Or the sea she will best us, we'll never see the land So row row ye bastards you never can tell The ocean a tempest or the land a stormy hell So row and a-hollar till bloody oar in hand Or the sea she will best us, we'll never see the land We are wracked from the hardships Exhausted by the years we can still escape this barren misery But even with our shackled wrists we can fight our way through this And we'll power all aboard the ship to total liberty So row row ye bastards you never can tell The ocean a tempest or the land a stormy hell So row a litlle harder till bloody oar in hand Or the sea she will best us, we'll never see the land
