All around old Cape Horn |
|
Ships of the line, ships of the morn |
|
Some who wish they'd never been born |
|
They are the ghosts of Cape Horn |
|
Fal deral da riddle de rum |
|
With a rim dim diddy and a rum dum dum |
|
Sailing away at the break of dawn |
|
They are the ghosts of Cape Horn |
|
See them all in sad repair |
|
Demons dance everywhere |
|
Southern gales, tattered sails |
|
And none to tell the tales |
|
Come all of you rustic old sea dogs |
|
Who follow the great Southern Cross |
|
You we're rounding the Horn |
|
In the eye of a storm |
|
When ya lost 'er one day |
|
And you read all your letters |
|
From oceans away |
|
Then you took them to the bottom of the sea |
|
All around old Cape Horn |
|
Ships of the line, ships of the morn |
|
Those who wish they'd never been born |
|
They are the ghosts of Cape Horn |
|
Fal deral da riddle de rum |
|
With a rim dim diddy and a rum dum dum |
|
Sailing away at the break of dawn |
|
They are the ghosts of Cape Horn |
|
Come all you old sea dogs from Devon |
|
Southampton, Penzance and Kinsale |
|
You were caught by the chance |
|
Of a sailor's last dance |
|
It was not meant to be |
|
And ya read all your letters |
|
Cried [Incomprehensible] away |
|
Then ya took them to the bottom of the sea |
|
All around old Cape Horn |
|
Ships of the line, ships of the morn |
|
Some who wish they'd never been born |
|
They are the ghosts of Cape Horn |
|
Fal deral da riddle de rum |
|
With a rim dim diddy and a rum dum dum |
|
Sailing away at the break of dawn |
|
They are the ghosts of Cape Horn |
