about

This song is about a longshoreman and a stripper. It was inspired by a trip to PEI.

lyrics

Sonny & Potter

Potter was half a man
He worked on the docks
He didn’t talk much
Potter sent a comet to Rio
He had a real eye
Sonny liked to dance for a sailor
She was a mean one. He knew
It turned him on

Sonny and Potter were the best
That I’m telling you
Sonny wiped his tears
Broken candy hearts with love, love, love…

Ma says we’re doing fine
Sweet darling of mine
I’ll wear your eyes
Before we’re gone
I don’t know why?
Well, he’s her sugar cane
And she’s his lady bean

Hell he knows she is so beautiful
She scratched his spleen, heart. Winter town
Growing fonder
And when his loins are growing still
She will fulfill

They walked on starry nights
Water lapping on the docks of inlets
Sweet lover come outside
Sweet Love, come outside tonight
Rain catching in the hood of her coat
Sonny lover, swim to sea

Lobster Trap “Dirty Dancer”
He went to see the show
Sonny was a whirlwind of pleasure
He couldn’t handle no
He will remember loving her
