My luck is so bad


We are all born free but forever live in chains and we battle to exist and soldier on
We'll take whatever comes to be while keeping hopeful melody
and we'll cruise through the darkness until the warmth of dawn
so row row you bastards you never can tell
through water like glass above a briney hell
so row and a-hollar come give her all you can
or the sea she will best us, we'll never see the land
we carry on the burden and we hide our grimace well
for the day will come for us to mutiny
but as long as we survive our hope and pride they cant deprive
and we'll carry on our melody to sing in harmony
so row row you bastards you never can tell
over water like glass above a briney hell
so row and a-hollar come give her all you can
or the sea she will best us, we'll never see the land
So row row ye bastards you never can tell
the ocean a tempest or the land a stormy hell
so row and a-hollar till bloody oar in hand
or the sea she will best us, we'll never see the land
we are wracked from the hardships
exhausted by the years we can still escape this barren misery
but even with our shackled wrists we can fight our way through this
and we'll power all aboard the ship to total libertySo row row ye bastards you never can tell
the ocean a tempest or the land a stormy hell
so row a litlle harder till bloody oar in hand
or the sea she will best us, we'll never see the land

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics MY LUCK IS SO BAD of THE REAL MCKENZIES is also present in the album Westwinds (2012)
