DCome and gather 'round me people and a Gtale to you I'll Dtell
DOf my Afather and his father in the Gdays before the DSpill
DWith an endless sky above 'em and a Grestless sea Dbelow
DAnd eAvery blessing flowing from the GGulf of MexicDo
DWell my Granddad worked the shrimp boats from the Gtime that he was Dgrown
DAnd he Ascrimped and saved and bought himself a Gtrawler of his Down
DHe was rough and he was ready and he Gdrank when he was Dhome
DAnd he Amade his family's living on the GGulf of MexicDo
DHe was GrolDling, DHe was GrolDling
DCross the Gdeep blue water he was ArolDling
DWell my Daddy drove a crew boat hauling Gworkers to the Drigs
DHe was Asick of mending nets and couldn't Gstand the smell of Dfish
DHe drew a steady paycheck 20 Gyears from TexacDo
DWhen he Adied we spread his ashes on the GGulf of MexicDo
DHe was GrolDling, He was GrolDling
DCross the Gdeep green water he was ArolDling
DAs for me I dreamed of nothing any Ggrander than the Dday
DAG
TDhat I stepped out on the drilling floor to earn a roughneck's pay
DThen one night I swear I saw the Gdevil crawlin' from the Dhole
DAnd he Aspilled the guts of hell out in the GGulf of MexiDco
DWe were GrolDling, we were GrolDling
DCross the Gblood red water we were ArolDling
