VV(11): Fingernails

[Terrance]

My daddy is an engineer, my brother drives a hack,      
My sister takes in washing and the baby balls the jack. 

And it looks like I'm never gonna cease my wanderin'.

I've been a-wanderin' early and late,
New York City to the Golden Gate.

Been a-workin' in the City; been a-workin' on the farm,
And all I've got to show for it is the muscle in my arm.  

And it ...

Snakes in the ocean, eels in the sea,
A redheaded woman made a fool out of me.

And it ...
Rocks in the ocean, fish in the sea
Redheaded woman got a string on me

Red heads in the ocean, white mermaids on the sea
All these girls of the ocean never sing to me

Tell me why must I linger in these chambers of the sea

Tell me.....
