lyrics

"I know you don't write love songs,
But I still think that's a shame.
You're in many ways a fool, son,
But that's how you play the game.
If you ever want a story,
Then the greatest one for me,
Is the 36-hour widow
And the man who came back from the sea.

His name was Harry Eddom
And he'd rose to be First Mate.
He were right there on the Cleveland
When she sank in 68.
There were 18 hands died with her
But that sad end weren't to be
For the 36-hour widow
And the man who came back from the sea.

See Harry'd made a life raft
And that raft were washed ashore
He trudged 10 miles through a blizzard
Fell down at a farmer's door.
Back home his lovely Rita
Were soon to come to be
The 36-hour widow
To the man who came back from the sea.

I know you don't write love songs
But I think back to that year
And when Harry kissed his Rita
I'm still fighting back a tear.
And I'm a tough old man, son,
So that don't come easily,
But the 36-hour widow
And the man who came back from the sea....."
