I been up, I been down.
Take my word, my way around
I ain't askin' for much
I said, Lord, take me downtown,
I'm just lookin' for some tush
I been bad, I been good,
Dallas, Texas; Hollywood
I ain't askin' for much
I said, Lord, take me downtown,
I'm just lookin' for some tush
Take me back way back home,
Not by myself, not alone
I ain't askin' for much
I said, Lord, take me downtown,
I'm just lookin' for some tush

Well, it's four o'clock in the afternoon
And the anchors have been weighed
From Miami to Nassau,
She's bound across the waves
She'll be headin' south through Biscayne Bay
Into the open sea
Yarmouth Castle, she's a-dyin' and don't know it
Now the many years she's been to sea
She's seen the better times
She gives a groan of protest
As they cast away her lines
And the grumble of her engines
And the rust along her spine
Tells the Castle she's too old to be sailin'
But the sands run out within her heart
A tiny spark glows red
It smould
And the anchors have been weighed
From Miami to Nassau,
She's bound across the waves
She'll be headin' south through Biscayne Bay
Into the open sea
Yarmouth Castle, she's a-dyin' and don't know it
Now the many years she's been to sea
She's seen the better times
She gives a groan of protest
As they cast away her lines
And the grumble of her engines
And the rust along her spine
Tells the Castle she's too old to be sailin'
But the sands run out within her heart
A tiny spark glows red
It smould
