lyrics

YO ! HO ! HO ! We’ve been out at sea
It’s been 5 years, maybe more
Just me and the boys, lookin’ for that whale
It’s time for us to settle the score

We work all day, from sun-up till it’s dark
Riggin’ lines and hangin’ with the crew
Drinkin’ rum and playing cards
But the one thing that I don’t have is you

Maybe tomorrow, we’ll go back home
Maybe our journey will end
Maybe tomorrow, we’ll turn around
Maybe I’ll see you again

It’s been 5 years since I saw you last
The memories are all that remain
Day after day on this wide open sea
And I can’t wait to go back home

Well we caught a lot of fish, and we saved a lot of ships
We’ve been to every port and town
But still no word since I saw you last
This anchor is dragging me down

It was 7 years ago, the night was dark and cold
When the great whale destroyed our craft
The USS Ambergris held fast through the night
But in the end it was no match

The ship fell apart, and the skipper lost his heart
And shouted “every man for himself!”
And we all swam to shore and watched an hour more
As that beast took our boat down to hell
