Marc Almond - A Salty Dog lyrics
[Marc Almond - A Salty Dog lyrics]
I heard the captain cry explore the ship
Replace the cook let no one leave alive
Across the strait's around the Horn
How far can sailors fly the twisted path
Our tortured course and no left alive
We sailed for parts unknown to man
Where ships come home to die no lofty peak
No fortress bold
Could match our captain's eye
Upon the seventh seasick day
We made our port of call the sun so white
And the sea so blue no mortal place at all
We fired the gun and burned the mast
And rode from ship to shore
The captain cried we sailors wept
But our tears were tears of joy
How many moons and how many Junes
Have passed since we made love a salty dog
And a seaman's log your witness my own pain
