So, we've said this before, but we're just so grateful to be a part of this family, the whole Delbert Cruz thing.
We heard about it for years, and we realized we had to hire a drummer that was already in on the inner circle for us to get on the boat about six years ago.
And we've been coming back every year ever since, and we're really grateful for that.
And we had a little crisis a few months back.
We needed a new bass player, and we decided that we would keep it within the Delbert Cruz musician family.
And we got Jesse Wilson playing the bass guitar for us now.
And the funny thing was, we didn't even know he played bass, but we knew he played every other instrument.
And we called him up, and he flew in for a tour with no rehearsals, and we just started touring, and we've been touring ever since.
And so, y'all give it up for Jesse Wilson.
[A] Apparently, he also plays drums.
Yeah, we're gonna see how that goes.
This is a first for us.
[B] And everybody's gonna be singing on this one, so have the mics turned up out there.
I [G]
sailed an ocean, unsettled ocean
Through restful water and deep commotion
[Eb] [D] Often frightened, [Bb] but [G] enlightened
[Eb] Sail [F] on, sail [G] on, sailor
I rest the water, my Neptune's water
Sail through the sorrow of life's marauder
[Eb] [D]
[Bb] [A] Unrepentant, unforgiven
[Eb] Sail [F] on, sail [G] on, sailor
[D] Bought like a sewer rat, [Em] a longbird I sail
[D] Bought like a crust of bread, [Em] but oh, how I wail
[Am] Seldom stumble, never crumble
Try to tumble, that's a [Em] rumble
[G] Feel the stinging, I've been given
Never ending, [C] unrelenting
[Am] Heartbreak searing, always fearing
Never caring, [Eb] persevering
Sail on, sail [G] on, sailor
I worked the seaway, the thunder seaway
Passed shipwrecked daughters of wicked [Eb] waters
[C] Uninspired, [Eb] [G] drenched and tired
[Eb] Sail on, [G] sail on, sailor
Always [Am] bleeding, even bleeding
Never feeling all my [Em] feelings
Filled with thunder, [G] bust out blunder
There's no wonder, [C] all I'm under
Is [Am] the crying and the lying
And the sighing and my dying
[Eb] Sail [G] on, sail on, sailor
Sail [Eb] [F] on, sail [G] on, sailor
[Eb] Sail on, [G] sail on, [Eb] sailor
