The passing of Prime Minister Thatcher has me remenicing.

 

I always think of The Clash when I think of her. They were the anti-Thatcher.

 

So, this is in my head now ...

We're in the Same Boat Brother

By Huddie “LeadBelly” Ledbetter

If you can't understand the dialect, message follows:

 

 

We’re in the same boat brother,

 

We’re in the same boat brother,

 

And if you shake one end,

 

You gonna rock the other

 

It’s the same boat brother

 

The Lord looked down from his holy place

 

Said Lawd duh me, what a sea of space

 

What a spot to launch the Human Race

 

 

So he built him a Boat, for a mixed-up crew,

 

With eyes of Black, and Brown, and Blue.

 

So that’s how’s come, that You and I

 

Got just one world, and just one sky.

 

We’re in the same boat brother,

 

We’re in the same boat brother,

 

And if you shake one end,

 

You gonna rock the other

 

It’s the same boat brother

 

 

So the Boat rolled on

 

Through storm and grief,

 

Hit many a rock and many a reef,

 

What keep them going was a great belief.

 

That the human race was a special freight

 

So they had to learn to navigate.

 

If they didn’t want to be in Jonah’s shoes,

 

Better be mated on this here cruise.

 

—Why—

 

We’re in the same boat brother,

 

We’re in the same boat brother,

 

And if you shake one end,

 

You gonna rock the other

 

It’s the same boat brother

 

 

 

So the boiler blew, somewhere in Spain,

 

All the kettle was smashed and 40 cranes.

 

Steam boat out from the Oregon Main.

 

Oh, it took some time for the crew to learn

 

What is bad for the bow ain’t good for the stern.

 

If a fire took place in China today

 

Pearl Harbor just gonna blaze away.

 

 

 

We’re in the same boat brother,

 

We’re in the same boat brother,

 

And if you shake one end,

 

You gonna rock the other

 

It’s the same boat brother.
