Oh, my boat's got a Rusty Anchor
Rusty as she can be
Every port I go, I drop her
But she always comes back to me
Oh, Rusty Anchor
Goin' down, down, down
Oh, Rusty Anchor
Guess I gotta hang around
Now I love that Rusty Anchor
But man, she don't love me
And this mornin' I woke to find us both
A-driftin' out to sea!
And every chance I get, I thank her
For never leavin' me
Well, my bones are carved-up driftwood
But she won't never set them free
Oh, Rusty Anchor
Goin' down, down, down
Oh, Rusty Anchor
Guess I gotta hang around.
