Ships Greg Brown

Mariyln Monroe was so tired
She was so tired, she was so tired
City girl lost in a field of rye
And see what she has done

Now she's out on a boat on the ocean
Turning around and around
Sail for a dress and her hand on her breast
Out on the rolling sea
Out on the rolling sea

John Wayne was so sick
He was so thick, he was up a crick
Cowboy lost in a long steel hall
And see what he has done

Now he's out on a boat on the ocean
Turning around and around
Lashed to the mast and free at last
Out on the rolling sea
Out on the rolling sea

Elvis Presley was so fat
They gave him all that, just to stand pat
Jaguar lost in a living room
And you see what he has done
