Great-grandaddy Dealt in hanged-man's hands Bloody rope and pissed pants Seven days at sea, off course by three He was the only one awake To see the corposant A lee-ward storm behind them Before a gold ice-gilded island Wrecked at Boston Light Just past midnight He was the only one alive On the coffin boat Last one alive On the coffin boat Doc gave up pulling teeth Headed out west Drowning in consumption And hustling death But Old Azzy wouldn't come Through the barrel of a gun So he cursed with whiskey On his last breath That wiry little bastard Told Big Nose Kate his last words He raised a death bed toast Then he gave up the ghost And he settled with the devil With his six guns on He reckoned with the devil With his six guns on Huffy Henry's daddy Was down by the sea With a six pack of beer And an old church key Said he'd swim out on the tide Taking Henry for the ride And their eyes would turn to pearls In the darkness of the deep Mother's voice was frantic As she scanned the broad Atlantic But he chose lead instead Put a bullet through his head All he left little Henry Was the memory Poor lonely little Henry With his memories
