[Chorus]
Danger Durward don’t take long don’t take long to get back home
Get off the boat and down on one knee and get her a diamond ring

[Verse 1]
All aboard down at the docks ‘bout time to hit the rich [?]
Here come Durward down to the dump for the hole he’s bout to dig
Two weeks out to sea you best believe she might be gone
Gone like this old ship your bout to sail your standing on aw c’mon

[Chorus]
Danger Durward don’t take long don’t take long to get back home
Get off the boat and down on one knee and get her a diamond ring

[Verse 2]
Danger Durward get out thе boat and get out to the bayou
I’d double back and I’d doublе down and I’d anchor down to find you
Yea Mary Ruth I’d tell the truth there’s a pick at the picket [?] tree
Yea get on back to Grandbay boy cause the girls about to leave oh c’mon

[Chorus]
Danger Durward don’t take long don’t take long to get back home
Get off the boat and down on one knee and get her a diamond ring

[Verse 3]
Well here’s the truth that Mary Ruth ain’t waiting very long
This old boat named Jubilee don’t make you happy huh?
It’s setting sail on second thought that loving’s on the line
Hurry up she’s running off and you’re running out of time
[Chorus]
Danger Durward don’t take long don’t take long to get back home
Get off the boat and down on one knee and get her a diamond ring
Danger Durward don’t take long don’t take long to get back home
Get off the boat and down on one knee
Yea get that girl a diamond ring
