The Jolly Rogers - There Is A Storm lyrics
[The Jolly Rogers - There Is A Storm lyrics]
We were headed home from the port of Taipei
Hadn't had a clue what stood in our way
The wind was good and the skies were clear
Couldn't see a thing that we should fear
The clouds rolled in, wind snapped the sails
The captain said, "Boys
We're headed for a gale!"
So we battened down, rigging felt the strain
And the bosun howled through the driving rain
"There's a storm! Blowin' side-to-side!
There's a storm! Six miles wide!
There's a storm! No place to hide!
We're gonna ride it out to the other side!"
The thunder roared and the lightning flashed
The ocean rolled and the cold waves crashed
We pointed her nose right towards that squall
And over it all we heard the bosun's call:
"There's a storm! Blowin' side-to-side!
There's a storm! Six miles wide!
There's a storm! No place to hide!
We're gonna ride it out to the other side!"
Then it all stopped just as it began
And a cheer went up from each boy and man
The captain says, "No, this is just the eye
" "There is much comin' on the other side!"
"There's a storm! Blowin' side-to-side!
There's a storm! Six miles wide!
There's a storm! No place to hide!
We're gonna ride it out to the other side!"
"There's a storm! Blowin' side-to-side!
There's a storm! Six miles wide!
There's a storm! No place to hide!
We're gonna ride it out to the other side!"
Just as he said it rolled back in again
We were battlin' the rain and
The hail and wind
We knew the ship couldn't take much more
And once again we heard the bosun roar:
"There's a storm! Blowin' side-to-side!
There's a storm! Six miles wide!
There's a storm! No place to hide!
We're gonna ride it out to the other side!"
All through that day the storm raged on
And we battled it back to the next dawn
When we saw the sun we knew we were clear
And we all hoped never again to hear:
"There's a storm! Blowin' side-to-side!
There's a storm! Six miles wide!
There's a storm! No place to hide!
We're gonna ride it out to the other side!"
"There's a storm! Blowin' side-to-side!
There's a storm! Six miles wide!
There's a storm! No place to hide!
We're gonna ride it out to the other side!
We're gonna ride it out to the other side!
We're gonna ride it out to the other side!"
Hadn't had a clue what stood in our way
The wind was good and the skies were clear
Couldn't see a thing that we should fear
The clouds rolled in, wind snapped the sails
The captain said, "Boys
We're headed for a gale!"
So we battened down, rigging felt the strain
And the bosun howled through the driving rain
"There's a storm! Blowin' side-to-side!
There's a storm! Six miles wide!
There's a storm! No place to hide!
We're gonna ride it out to the other side!"
The thunder roared and the lightning flashed
The ocean rolled and the cold waves crashed
We pointed her nose right towards that squall
And over it all we heard the bosun's call:
"There's a storm! Blowin' side-to-side!
There's a storm! Six miles wide!
There's a storm! No place to hide!

There's a storm! Six miles wide!
There's a storm! No place to hide!
We're gonna ride it out to the other side!
We're gonna ride it out to the other side!
We're gonna ride it out to the other side!"
