Verse
Gm
From the crow's nest high
I can spy the little islands
F Gm
Strewn like stones in the salty sea
Gm
Pour the rum-pum-pum
Hearts are beating like the drum
F Gm
The madness taking me (Hoo!)
[Chorus]
D# A#
One day, should port be made
F Gm
I'll miss her, how her waves throw
D# A#
This day, we shant delay
F Gm
On our way, our dear Calypso
[Verse 2]
Gm
From the starboard bow
I can spy a city ruined
F Gm
Taken siege by a pirate's lance
Gm
Plundered gold
That was taken long ago
F Gm
Afore we had our chance (Dah!)
[Chorus]
D# A#
One day, should port be made
F Gm
I'll miss her, how her waves throw
D# A#
This day, we shant delay
F Gm
On our way, our dear Calypso
[Verse 3]
Gm
From the decks below
I can spy out through the porthole
F Gm
Kingly ships of a naval fleet
Gm
While we schemed our raid
Our plan had been belayed
F Gm
For they'd made their retreat (Dang it!)
[Chorus]
D# A#
One day, should port be made
F Gm
I'll miss her, how her waves throw
D# A#
This day, we shant delay
F Gm
On our way, our dear Calypso
[Verse 4]
Gm
From the port side shroud
I can spy under the moonlight
F Gm
Dreams of fortune awaiting me
Gm
Gold and rum
All there is under the sun
F Gm
But fate would disagree (Hey!)
[Chorus]
D# A#
Someday, if port be made
F Gm
I'll miss her, how her waves throw
D# A#
This day, we shant delay
F Gm
On our way, our dear Calypso
[Bridge]
Gm
At the Captain's wheel
He can spy out the horizon
F Gm
"Hands on deck! Tally-Ho!" he cries
Gm F Gm
"Silver! Gold! Plenty coffers to behold before your very eyes!" (Oh!)
[Chorus]
D# A#
One day, should port be made
F Gm
I'll miss her, how her waves throw
D# A#
This day, we shant delay
F Gm
On our way, our dear Calypso
