Oh the year was twenty twenty one
And the news cycle was not so fun
Then a great big ship, aground did run
Soon may the digger man come
To free up all the tea and rum
One day, when the digging is done
She'll take her leave and go
There once was a ship that put to sea
And the owner of that ship was Evergreen
The winds blew hard, her bow dipped down
Blow, me bully boys, blow
Soon may the digger man come
With tools to work under Egyptian Sun
One day, when the digging is done
She'll take her leave and go
She had not been two weeks from shore
When a Suez pilot had to board
The captain called all hands and swore
He'd never let'em live it down
Soon may the digger man come
To free up all the tea and rum
One day, when the digging is done
She'll take her leave and go
Before the boat had hit the wall
She was drawn there by its siren's call
The wind gave a mighty heave and ho
Soon may the digger man come
With tools to work under Egyptian Sun
One day, when the digging is done
She'll take her leave and go
No line was cut, no ship was freed
An' the whole world's mind was stuck on greed
Even with tugs pulling at top speed
That ship would just not tow
Soon may the digger man come
To free up all the tea and rum
One day, when the digging is done
She'll take her leave and go
It's been some days, it'll be some more
Before Europe can fill up its store
All things needed to get to Livin
Are being held up by the Ever Given
