While out sailing on the sea

I bumped into the Saviour

And He said pardon me

I said Jesus you look tired

He said Jesus so do you,

Sit down son Cause I got some fat to chew

Everybody needs somebody that they can talk to

Someone to open up their ears And let that trouble through

Starvation, pain and sin

Matter of fact the whole dang time

I only got a few words in

    C
But I won't squawck Let 'em talk

          F                C
Hell it's been a long long time

    F                 C
And any friend that's been turned down

   G                       C
Is bound to be a friend of mine
(Repeat chorus)
       C
Now we sat there for an hour or two

     F                  C
Just eatin' that Gospel pie

     C               
When around the bend come a terrible wind

And lightning lit the sky

        C
He said so long son I gotta run

     F                      C
Appreciate you listening to me

      F                   C
And I believe I heard him sing these words

      G                      C
As he skipped out across the sea
(Repeat chorus)
