There's good money don't you fear said the man down by the pier
For the sea is alive and it's calling
Won't you chase the new black gold where once the herring showed
There's black gold in the deep waters Johnny
Where the North Sea wind is blowing
And the day is a lifetime too long
Where we drill, sweat and toil to take the ocean's oil
There's black gold in the deep waters Johnny
ย
There are men from Scaffold Flow and the kid from Sandy Row
And several men who look all spiff and sparkle
And the money spending binge, joyriding on the rigs
And you'll chase the new black gold without your gargle
Where the North Sea wind is blowing
And the day is a lifetime too long
Where we drill, sweat and toil to take the ocean's oil
There's black gold in the deep waters Johnny
ย
There's twelve-hour shifts to do playing nursemaid to the crew
There's loneliness and fear in empty oceans
From the Shetlands to the Kish they're chasing oil instead of fish
For black gold in the deep waters Johnny
Where the North Sea wind is blowing
And the day is a lifetime too long
Where we drill, sweat and toil to take the ocean's oil
There's black gold in the deep waters Johnny
ย
Oh the rig's my second home sitting pretty o'er the foam
A way of life that's new to every nation
And there's a hundred extra quid to go diving with the squid
For black gold in the deep waters Johnny
Where the North Sea wind is blowing
And the day is a lifetime too long
Where we drill, sweat and toil to take the ocean's oil
There's black gold in the deep waters Johnny
Where the North Sea wind is blowing
And the day is a lifetime too long
Where we drill, sweat and toil to take the ocean's oil
There's black gold in the deep waters Johnny
