[Verse] I went to the woods to fetch me a log Tripped on a root and fell in the bog Thought it was safe Just a wee little soak But oh no Oh no I got poison oak [Chorus] Oh no Oh no What a fiery plight Scratching me arms in the dead of the night Red as the sails on the ship that we broke Oh no Oh no I got poison oak [Verse 2] I asked old Seamus “What’s the cure for this itch?” He said “Drink a pint and don’t be a snitch” I scratched and I howled I near had a stroke Oh no Oh no I got poison oak [Prechorus] It burns It stings It’s worse than a fight I’m doomed I’m cursed Oh what a sight [Chorus] Oh no Oh no What a fiery plight Scratching me arms in the dead of the night Red as the sails on the ship that we broke Oh no Oh no I got poison oak [Bridge] A sailor’s life is rough and tough But this cursed rash is just too much I’ll take a storm I’ll take the smoke Just take away this poison oak
