My captain sailed the sea
Of waves and hurricanes
Of lovers of tears
My captain who sailed the sea
He cried upon a shore
Mermaids wailed, fishes gone for help
Where is My Captain who once sailed the sea?
He was no more by the shore
Then the ocean started to mourn
He was found, My Ol' Captain
Laying rotten dead
Beneath the ship, covered red
It was heartache, they said
