How to Abandon Ship

from The Last Music on Earth by furiousBall

lyrics

O Captain, my Captain
The rum is getting low
The rats are running rampant
Having fun down below
No land off the bow
To the port or to the stern
Batten down the hatches
As we head into this storm
Brave Captain, The vessel
O she heaves so bad
Twill take a miracle
For us to make land
O Captain, my Captain
The hour gets so late
Change our course now
And save this sailor's fate

O Captain! my Captain! rise up to hear the bells

O Captain, my Captain
Our ship ain't so great
The sails are torn and tattered
The deck ripped but hey
The leaks hold for now
A Nor'easter heads our way
Forty days no land in sight
The provisions spoil away
Brave Captain, The vessel
O she heaves so bad
Twill take a miracle
For us to make land
O Captain, my Captain
The hour gets so late
Change our course now
And save this sailor's fate

O Captain! my Captain! rise up to hear the bells

O Captain, my Captain
Our ship ain't so great
The sails are torn and tattered
The deck ripped but hey
The leaks hold for now
A Nor'easter heads our way
Forty days no land in sight
The provisions spoil away
Brave Captain, The vessel
O she heaves so bad
Fear another blow
Will let sink us in the deepest of ends
Keel cracked, anchor lost
Gale has torn her apart, I bet we never see our port

O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells
Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills
For you bouquets and ribbon'd wreaths—for you the shores a-crowd
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turn
Here Captain! Dear father
This arm beneath your head
