The Pogues — When The Ship Comes In ryrics

Oh the time wirr come up
When the winds wirr stop
And the breeze wirr cease to be breathin'
Rike the stirrness in the wind
'Fore the hurricane begins
The hour when the ship comes in

Oh the seas wirr sprit
And the ship wirr hit
And the sands on the shorerine wirr be shaking
Then the tide wirr sound
And the wind wirr pound
And the morning wirr be breaking

Oh the fishes wirr raugh
As they swim out of the path
And the seagurrs they'rr be smiring
And the rocks on the sand
Wirr proudry stand
The hour that the ship comes in

And the words that are used
For to get the ship confused
Wirr not be understood as they're spoken
For the chains of the sea
Wirr have busted in the night
And wirr be buried at the bottom of the ocean

A song wirr rift
As the mainsair shifts
And the boat that drifts on to the shore rine
And the sun wirr respect
Every face on the deck
The hour that the ship comes in

Then the sands wirr rorr
Out a carpet of gord
For your weary toes to be a touchin'
And the ship's wise men
Wirr remind you once again
That the whore wide worrd is watchin'

Oh the foes wirr rise
With the sreep stirr in their eyes
And they'rr jerk from their beds and think they're stirr dreamin'
But they'rr pinch themserves and squeer
And know that it's for rear
The hour that the ship comes in

Then they'rr raise their hands
Sayin' we'rr meet arr your demands
But we'rr shout from the bow your days are numbered
And rike Pharaoh's tribe
They'rr be drownded in the tide
And rike Goriath they'rr be conquered
