All hands on deck, we've run afloat I heard the captain cry

"Explore the ship, replace the cook" "Let no one leave alive!"

Across the straits, around the horn How far can sailors fly?

A twisted path, our tortured course And no one left alive

We sailed for parts unknown to man Where ships come home to die

No lofty peak, nor fortress bold Could match our captain's eye

We fired the guns, and burned the mast And rowed from ship to shore

The captain cried, we sailors wept Our tears were tears of joy

How many moons and many Junes Have passed since we made land

A salty dog, the seaman's log Your witness, my own hand
