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