The Cursing of the Teri Lee

from Tales of the Brine and the Maritime by Adam Kurtz

about

Based on a True Story

lyrics

We curse, we curse the Teri Lee
And her crew one by one
How many times must she slice our lines
Before her work is done
Before her cursed work be done?

An August escape to the waters of Maine
To catch a feast of fish
Our lines unfurled, our lures so sharp
We never could’ve expected this
A boat, a boat, a lobstering boat
Approached and overtook
Our lines went limp, one after the other,
We lost our every hook

We curse, we curse the Teri Lee
And her crew one by one
How many times must she slice our lines
Before her work is done
Before her cursed work be done?

Helpless the feeling as in vain we be reeling
Our limply dangling lines
Nothing has bit them yet they are broken
And the Teri Lee so close by
She growled with malice, her captain long calloused
To the simple ways of man
Left us in her wake, to the horizon she did take
As just the kin of Satan can

We curse, we curse the Teri Lee
And her crew one by one
How many times must she slice our lines
Before her work is done
Before her cursed work be done?
