Oh, you see what your reckless talk can do?
Don't you see what your reckless talk can do?
You can see what your reckless talk can do
I don't want no reckless talk from you!
There is a ship that sails the ocean blue
There is a ship that sails the ocean blue
There is a ship that sails the ocean blue
And her name I cannot tell to you
Oh, you see what your reckless talk can do?
Don't you see what your reckless talk can do?
You can see what your reckless talk can do
I don't want no reckless talk from you!
When you hear of a ship and a crew done gone
When you hear of a ship and a crew done gone
When you hear of a ship and a crew done gone
See what your rattling tongue has done!
Oh, you see what your reckless talk can do?
Don't you see what your reckless talk can do?
You can see what your reckless talk can do
I don't want no reckless talk from you!
That ocean's dark and the ocean's cold
That ocean's dark and the ocean's cold
That ocean's dark and the ocean's cold
So don't raffle off everything you know
Oh, you see what your reckless talk can do?
Don't you see what your reckless talk can do?
You can see what your reckless talk can do
I don't want no reckless talk from you!
A clattering tongue is an awful thing
A clattering tongue is an awful thing
A clattering tongue is an awful thing
When you think of the sorrow it might bring
Oh, you see what your reckless talk can do?
Don't you see what your reckless talk can do?
You can see what your reckless talk can do
I don't want no reckless talk from you!
The least little word that you might say
The least little word that you might say
The least little word that you might say
Might send a ship to a watery grave
Oh, you see what your reckless talk can do?
Don't you see what your reckless talk can do?
You can see what your reckless talk can do
I don't want no reckless talk from you!
Us boys that ride this ocean blue
Us boys that ride this ocean blue
Us boys that ride this ocean blue
We don't want no reckless talk from you
