Ed,

I wrote 4 verses for you. I'd never heard the song before so I listened to a clip online. I didn't change the chorus but I did work in your line about selling the boat on ebay.

No, Nay Never (revised)

We set sail today, but I’m fear for my life
Cause I know I’ll eventually return to my wife
She knows the new deckhand with the flowing red curls
Is the neighbors first born, the first sailing young girl

As the seagulls screech above me it makes me think of my wife
Except they never cause me pain and no strife
They’re happy if you slip them one old cold sardine
Unlike the one that lies next to me home whilst I dream

(chorus)
And it's no, nay, never
No, nay never no more
Will I be a wild sailor
No, never, no more

The days are getting’ shorter and the night has a chill
The swabbies’ are wishin’ each other they could kill
The loneliness shatters the rocks in their heads
I guess that’s why John and Bill share a bed

(repeat chorus)

The bird on my shoulder, he’s along for the ride
He always agrees with me come low or high tide
He’ll watch from his perch, as we dock late today
Flap his wings with joy as the boat sells on ebay

(repeat chorus)
