Round the Cape |
| Well we’re goin' round the cape, gold and shores to find |
| 900 miles of wind and waves smashing up the sides |
| We’re goin' round the cape, there is no other way |
| For trade, and king, and countrymen, we’ll brave the foam and spray |
| So tell my love that I’ll be back someday |
| It’s rock and roll a-, rock and roll a-, rock and roll away |
| When I return, I swear I’m gonna stay |
| So rock and roll a-, rock and roll a-, rock and roll away |
| I left my home and land to sail a clipper ship |
| Into the parts of my own map that barely have been writ |
| I must be out my mind to leave England in my wake |
| But I’ll get that silver in my ear, we’re goin' round the cape |
| So tell my love that I’ll be back someday |
| It’s rock and roll a-, rock and roll a-, rock and roll away |
| When I return, I swear I’m gonna stay |
| So rock and roll a-, rock and roll a-, rock and roll away |
| It’s a long way home, but many miles to go |
| There’s a gale that’s trying to drag us all below |
| And I long to dream of any better fate |
| But what awaits the brave around the cape? |
| I heard the sailors say, «By God, you must be mad |
| There’s waves as tall as houses and the gales’ll knock you flat |
| And when the storm has fled and the fog is thick as mud |
| It’s pray for your deliverance and pray you rightly should.» |
| So tell my love that I’ll be back someday |
| It’s rock and roll a-, rock and roll a-, rock and roll away |
| When I return, I swear I’m gonna stay |
| So rock and roll a-, rock and roll a-, rock and roll away |
| So tell my love that I’ll be back someday |
| It’s rock and roll a-, rock and roll a-, rock and roll away |
| When I return, I swear I’m gonna stay |
| So rock and roll a-, rock and roll a-, rock and roll away |
| Rock and roll a- |
| (Rock and roll a-) |
| Rock and roll away |
