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