Rub-A-Dub-Dub

Now once upon a time in a nursery rhyme three little men got lost

Like you and me they couldn't agree and upon the wave they tossed

Well I'll sing their tune cause I got marooned with the love I can't forget

Now the three little men just took me in on an ocean of regret

With a rub-a-dub-dub three men in the tub lost on the ocean blue

I roll like a hub sing rub-a-dub-dub cause you're broke my heart in two

[ fiddle ]

Well my heart is sore and I can't reach shore and I'm driftin' far away

From the love I had I'm feelin' mighty bad and I can't go on this way

Won't you throw out the line and say you're mine and take me back again

Cause my rudder's broke and it ain't no joke won't you reach and pull me in

With a rub-a-dub-dub...

[ steel ]

Well I knew right away there'd never come a day when I'd reach the land again

The one I 'dore on the distant shore is now at rainbow's end

To the three little guys I turn my eyes won't you tell your names to me

Now one said fate, one said hate and the other said jealousy

With a rub-a-dub-dub...
