Captain's DaughterThirteen nights to shoreThat's what I bargained for Six months gone a hired hand Roll over, the snow and ice Every day is a roll of the dice Dreaming of hot, dry sand Lord, if I'd known how cold and lonely The sea could be without company, I'd say So long to my ocean home So long to my dear sea, I'm going home Wash my face in the salty water I've got a date with the captain's daughter Card game in the captain's shack Bet my watch and got it back And an old swinging picture on a nail Her name was Annabel And I knew I'd walk through hell To find that face when we drop sail Lord, if I'd known how cold and lonely The sea could be without company, I'd say So long to my ocean home So long to my dear sea, I'm going home Wash my face in the salty water I've got a date with the captain's daughter We heard the thunder clap As the night came home pitch black I tried to yell through the howling wind Last thing I knew was the icy cold That briny wave swallowed me whole Lord, if I'd known how cold and lonely The sea could be without company, I'd say So long to my ocean home So long to my dear sea, I'm going home Wash my face in the salty water I've got a date with the captain's daughter With the captain's daughter |
