Morten Abel - Cecilia Carter


[C]One of these days I get my [F]boat on the [C]water
My [Am]boat on the [G]water one of t[F]hese days
Named after my girl [C]Cecilia Carter
You [Am]know the American [G]actress?
And when Cecilia[F] floats on the[C] water
And [Am]winter is [G]over come s[F]ummertime
Very soon now I'm[C] going to be a father
I h[Am]ope it's a daughter this[G] time

And [Bb]if I get, if I get [F]enough money
Or I [C]find a pot of gold
[Bb]I have a big fami[F]ly to look after me[G] when I'm old
But first[Am] of all, all I [C]want is this boat s[F]ee
My Dad never could afford [Am]one you see
He got t[C]oo many mo[F]uths to feed


My Mamma always used to say to me darling
To everything there is a beginning
So first I got to get Cecilia Carter on the water floating
I stopped by the river bank
And put my toes in the sand
I might not need a family plan
Cos if I listen to my heart
I'll forever be Cecilia's man

And if I get, if I get enough money
Or I find a pot of gold
I have a big family to look after me when I'm old
But first of all, all I want is this boat see
My Dad never could afford one you see
He got too many mouths to feed

And if I get, if I get enough money
Or I find a pot of gold
I have a big family to look after me when I'm old
But first of all, all I want is this boat see
My Dad never could afford one you see
He got too many mouths to feed
