Lyrics: " Me and my buddy Ed Y'know, walking down by the dock one day Just'a looking at all'a them good lookin' boats out there “Oh, I wish I had a boat," says Ed I laughed, cuz he’s always broke I said, “Ed, you can’t even afford to float” You can't afford to float, Ed Driftin' away from the shore Well we got down near the end You know, all the pretty sailboats are tied up out there With their big tall masts bobbin' round in the air Ed says, “I could sail one of those, You don’t even need a key!” I said, "Ed, it ain't that easy!" Well I don't believe it's that easy, Ed Driftin' away from the shore But Ed said I had no experience in the matter He proceeded to untie a boat And then he just jumped right inside Oh, I followed him in I think it was a bad idea Cuz now we are drifting away from the dock We're drifting away from the shore, Ed We are drifting away from the shore Oh, Ed pulls on the tiller, you know He cranks round some levers, tells me to row I said, "Ed, there ain't any paddles" And someone on the dock Is yelling at us, he sounds pretty mad And I begin to regret taking a walk with Ed Well, I wish I’d stayed home Instead of drifting away from the shore Ed says, “Aw, well let’s just beat it then” And he jumped right over the side Oh, you know starts swimmin' like a fool for the shoreline Oh, but I can’t swim I never even learned how; just sittin' here in this stolen boat Wonderin' what it's gonna feel like to get shot Oh, I bet that’s gonna hurt, Ed Driftin' away from the shore Well, suddenly I’m surrounded By angry people yelling at me through bullhorns You know what, I didn’t even that know the police had a boat On the way back down to the dock I saw Ed climbin' onto the rocks And haulin' ass down the sidewalk Don’t ask me to go walking again, Ed Drifting away from the shore "
Parr is a true American legend keeping traditional folk story teller music alive 🤘❤️🤘
Had a friend like Ed once. Wish I could sing him this song.

Me and my buddy Ed
Y'know, walking down by the dock one day
Just'a looking at all'a them good lookin' boats out there
“Oh, I wish I had a boat," says Ed
I laughed, cuz he’s always broke
I said, “Ed, you can’t even afford to float”
You can't afford to float, Ed
Driftin' away from the shore
Well we got down near the end
You know, all the pretty sailboats are tied up out there
With their big tall masts bobbin' round in the air
Ed says, “I could sail one of those,
You don’t even need a key!”
I said, "Ed, it ain't that easy!"
Well I don't believe it's that easy, Ed
Driftin' away from the shore
But Ed said I had no experience in the matter
He proceeded to untie a boat
And then he just jumped right inside
Oh, I followed him in
I think it was a bad idea
Cuz now we are drifting away from the dock
We're drifting away from the shore, Ed
We are drifting away from the shore
Oh, Ed pulls on the tiller, you know
He cranks round some levers, tells me to row
I said, "Ed, there ain't any paddles"
And someone on the dock
Is yelling at us, he sounds pretty mad
And I begin to regret taking a walk with Ed
Well, I wish I’d stayed home
Instead of drifting away from the shore
Ed says, “Aw, well let’s just beat it then”
And he jumped right over the side
Oh, you know starts swimmin' like a fool for the shoreline
Oh, but I can’t swim
I never even learned how; just sittin' here in this stolen boat
Wonderin' what it's gonna feel like to get shot
Oh, I bet that’s gonna hurt, Ed
Driftin' away from the shore
Well, suddenly I’m surrounded
By angry people yelling at me through bullhorns
You know what, I didn’t even that know the police had a boat
On the way back down to the dock
I saw Ed climbin' onto the rocks
And haulin' ass down the sidewalk
Don’t ask me to go walking again, Ed
Drifting away from the shore
