Default Isley song - request for lyrics proofreading

Hello, I really like this song from Sailor Bill Band:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B24t35rGDhw

I wanted to play & sing it, but I could not google any lyrics for this song, so I tried to listen and put it down. However I am not English native speaker, so I am not sure with a few passages.

Could someone please review the following lyrics ? (I've marked parts where I have most doubt with >>>...<<<):


There is a night wind, way out of sea,
far away from anyone far away from me.
>>> Place <<< where I'll go when I had enough.
If you want to stay boy,
then you gotta be tough.
Where the wind blows hard, and the >>> body rows <<< (or "barley grows" ?)
and the the smell of >>> pee <<< hangs in your boat
I don't need no TV nor can be in store
Gets me in the wild western Atlantic row.

Say, give me a whiskey, give me a smoke,
give me a place where I can dock my boat.
Give me a glass of that Pete's pure,
we're singing songs crying out for more.
Hard to >>> hold up the deal of fraud, <<<
like a bull and I beg for more.
Leave your worries at the door
we're singing songs to cry out for more.

You could travel world, still never find,
at least that easie-s, easies your mind.
But I'm out in music those in your veins,
and follow me down, down island.

Say, give me a whiskey, give me a smoke.
Give me a place where I can dock my boat.
Give me a glass of that Pete's pure
we're singing songs crying out for more .
Hard to >>> hold Brooklyn dealer fraud, <<<
like a bull and I beg for more.
Leave your worries at the door,
you take a drum to cry out for more.

Say give me a whiskey, give me a smoke.
Give me a place where I can dock my boat.
Give me a glass of that Pete's pure,
we're singing songs crying out for more.
Hard to hold >>> Brooklyn dealer fraud, <<<
like a bull and I beg for more.
Leave your worries at the door,
we're singing songs to cry out for more.
