Just can't settle down Nettles in my tail Like you're in and out of town I'm in and out of jail Knee-deep into debts Wife deceiving me When you lose the better move's To ship yourself to sea Marinero, Marinero sea Very narrow getting away Marinero, Marinero sea Never ask how much is the pay Marinero, Marinero sea Say my name is Johnny Doe Marinero, Marinero sea Where we go I do not care I just want to feel the spray Upon my face, the oceanic air Marinero Life's calamities Find me without fail Agents and police compete To put me back in jail Day or two ago Playing just for fun How was I to know that there Were bullets in the gun? Marinero, Marinero sea Very narrow getting away Marinero, Marinero sea But I'm sitting pretty today Marinero, Marinero sea There's a girl I'm going to find Marinero, Marinero sea She's the kind of girl I love Doesn't mind when there's too much Or when there's just a memory of Marinero Complimentary "Marinero"
