It's not in any shiphmril ing And never will he, I fenr. 'Tis fact, I am a tanker, Laden down with gas :ind nil Ispend my life upon the sei And seldom see the soil.

I'm not the fastest ship afloat, My crew has all agreed. For work and toil and sweat, my friend I've sacrificed my speed. But to do my job I'm able, I've heard no man Complain. My past performance proves it, .ind I'll prove it again and again. I worry more than any woman, KX ork more than any man, Travel more than any gypsy, Tote more than any van. Seen more water than most fish do. I'ni awake both day and night. I take no leave or liberty, For that would not be right. 1'm ehristened good ship WACCAMAW Not human, I'll agree.
