Lyrics
Hello to my mama
Say now son hey where ya' been?
I've been down at the tug boat
They been pushin' some skin
They work little Mary
Lord they word her to the bone
And I told them one day
She won't be working no more
You got another tug than use it
And treat it right
You've got to have some restoration
'Cause when those gears are makin' music
Lord she can push it so well
I yell up to the Captain
And his double cup of wine
I hear knocks in the engine
He says everything's fine
Those knocks just get louder
In the middle of the bay
Kaput goes the engine
New we're drifting away
You got a radio then use it
It's turning night
We're bound to have some complication
'Cause when those gears were making music
Lord she was pushing so well
First verse
