A Salty Dog |
| '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 bold, could match our captain’s eye |
| Upon the seventh seasick day we made our port of call |
| A sand so white, and sea so blue, no mortal place at all |
| We fired the gun, and burnt the mast, and rowed from ship to shore |
| The captain cried, we sailors wept: our tears were tears of joy |
| Now many moons and many junes have passed since we made land |
| A salty dog, this seaman’s log: your witness my own hand |
