At the age of twenty-three
My first shipwreck at sea
I was stranded off the coast of France
When quite by chance
A lady in a boat
She grabbed me by the throat
And towed me to the shore
All in a trance
I was lying in distress
when she started to undress
She has a map of Scotland
Tattooed upon her chest
And further down
to my surprise
I saw the spot
Where Nelson lost his eye
She had a map or portugee
Tattooed upon her knee
Burma and Siam
Upon her thigh
I was searching for Hong Kong
When her husband came along
I let the rest of the world go by.
