"I'm shipping up to Boston" by Dropkick Murphys; what do the lyrics mean?


Don't get me wrong, but honestly I almost laughed hard when i first heard the song.

Do you know what the lyrics really mean? I dont' think it is just about a sailor loosing his leg.

I think they are saying losing his leg, because of something.

What do you think?

He's moving to Boston?

Didn't know this until I looked it up but it was written by Woody Guthrie. The sailor says he lost his leg "climbing up the topsails." I never really thought about it much until you mentioned it but "to find my wooden leg" could be definitely be a double entendre meaning something else as well.
