Stranded in this brig Too damn long They say I'm wicked and I'm sick I'll never go home Sleeping on rocks Drinking till dawn My cellmate's gone He's been thrown off and drowned I wanna get back To the coastlands Crawl in the sand And with the sun I'll stand They got me by the hands But all I done was talk. I'm dead it's in their plans Oh my hours sure ain't long Stranded in this brig Too damn long They say I'm wicked and I'm sick I'll never go home Blood is turning blue My bones don't move how they used to Should've acted mute Because then I'd have some food, yea They got me by the hands But all I done was talk. I'm dead it's in their plans Oh my hours sure ain't long Stranded in this brig Too damn long They say I'm wicked and I'm sick I'll never go home
