**Shanty of Tim Owens on the Shallōtte R

**Chanty of Tim Owens on the Shallōtte River** (Verse 1) Oh, gather 'round me hearties, let me tell ye 'bout a man, Tim Owens be his name, a sailor brave and grand. On the Shallōtte River where the waters gently flow, He sails his wooden boat with a heart as pure as snow. (Chorus) Yo-ho-ho, on the river we shall glide, With Tim Owens at the helm, we take it all in stride. Yo-ho-ho, through the currents and the tide, On the Shallōtte River, we'll forever ride. (Verse 2) His wife prefers the shoreline, with her feet upon the land, But his black dog Zinnia is always close at hand. With a wagging tail and spirit, she's eager for the quest, Together they set sail, two adventurers on the crest. (Chorus) Yo-ho-ho, on the river we shall glide, With Tim Owens at the helm, we take it all in stride. Yo-ho-ho, through the currents and the tide, On the Shallōtte River, we'll forever ride. (Verse 3) If ever he gets stranded, in the shallows or the sea, Tim’s got a Tow Boat US card, to set his troubles free. With a call, they'll come a-runnin', to tow his boat along, Ensuring Tim's adventures keep rolling with this song. Yo-ho-ho, on the river we shall glide, With Tim Owens at the helm!
