Lyrics

Come with me say Lambaday, Hey Lambaday!
It’s a special day, he say. Say Lambaday!
Lambaday say come today it’s a Rumba day
But I can’t play Rumba hey, Lambaday

Hey now friends.
Listen to me
I’m just a humble man
Who lives off the sea

I never catch no fish, though
And my boat goes dry
The only sea shanties I sing
Will make you cry

Lambaday say come today it’s samba day
But I can’t play Samba hey, Lambaday
Lambaday say come today it’s Mambo day
But I can’t play Mambo hey, Lambaday

Hey now friends.
Listen to me
I’m just a humble man
Who lives off the sea

I never catch no fish
And my boat goes dry
The only sea shanties I sing
Will make you cry
