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