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