When The Ship Hit The Sand chords by Little Jimmy Dickens

WHEN THE SHIP HIT THE SAND
Recorded by Little Jimmy Dickens
Words and music by L. Kingston

[E] Oh! my wife and I went [B7] on an ocean [E] cruise
Three days out and I was sick down to my [B7] shoes
And to [A] make it more forelorn, we sailed [E] into a ragin' storm
Where we were, nobody [B7] seemed to have a [E] clue.

[E] While the ship was bein' [B7] tossed and thrown [E] about
I decided that I'd try to take a [B7] nap
Then I [A] heard an awful noise and I [E] asked one of the boys.
What had happened and you [B7] should of heard him [E] shout.
                     
CHORUS
"[E] Where were you when the ship hit the sand?"
I said; "I was in there prayin' for dry [B7] land,
With a [E] bucket and my breakfast in my [A] hand!"
"Where were [E] you when the [B7] ship hit the [E] sand?"

Oh! the captain he came a-runnin' up on deck
He was a-lookin kinda pale around the neck
As he sit there shoutin' orders, I stood splashin' in the water
And I ask exactly what you might expect.

CHORUS
"Where were you when the ship hit the sand?"
He said; "I was in there prayin' for dry land,
With a bucket and my breakfast in my hand!"
"Where were you when the ship hit the sand?"
