Wiki:
This is Dropkick Murphys' take on a Folk song written by Woody Guthrie. Guthrie was a very prolific writer, and many of his songs were never recorded. The Woody Guthrie archives has lyrics to thousands of his songs that are sometimes dusted off and recorded by modern artists. It became popular after being featured in the Martin Scorsese Academy Award winning film "The Departed".
Lyrics:
[Verse] I'm a sailor peg, and I've lost my leg Climbing up the top sails, I lost my leg! [Chorus] I'm shipping up to Boston, whoa I'm shipping up to Boston, whoa! I'm shipping up to Boston, whoa I'm shipping off, to find my wooden leg! [Verse] I'm a sailor peg, and I've lost my leg Climbing up the top sails, I lost my leg [Chorus] I'm shipping up to Boston, whoa I'm shipping up to Boston, whoa! I'm shipping up to Boston, whoa I'm shipping off, to find my wooden leg!
