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