All hands on deck
|
We've run afloat
|
I heard the captain cry
|
Explore the ship
|
Replace the cook
|
Let no one leave alive
|
Across the straits
|
Around the horn
|
How far can sailors fly
|
A twisted path
|
Our tortured course
|
And no one left alive
|
|
We sailed for parts
|
Unknown to man
|
Where ships come home to die
|
No lofty peak
|
Nor fortress hold
|
Could match our captain's eye
|
|
Upon the seventh sea sick day
|
We made our port of call
|
A sand so white
|
And seas so blue
|
No mortal place at all
|
|
We fired the gun
|
And burned the mast
|
And rowed from ship to shore
|
The captain cried
|
We sailors wept
|
Our tears were tears of joy
|
How many moons
|
And many Junes
|
Have passed since we made land
|
A salty dog
|
The seaman's log
|
Your witness, my own hand
|
