[E]
We were bound home in October from the shores of [A] Akaloo,
Binds [E] ahead a strong north-western and [A] slow too.
But a soup right down upon us, [E] making day as black [A] as night,
[E] As we halt upon the rocks of [A]
Akaloo.
[E] [A]
Obie tried to clear the island [E] as we brought her father south,
As the wind opened our west [A] runger blue.
Till our lookout soon he shouted, [E] and there lie dead ahead,
Through the snorkel walls loomed the cliffs of [A]
Akaloo.
[E]
And was hard down by the tiller [E] as we struggled [A] with his sheets,
[B] Trying our best to [E] haul them in a [A] foot or two.
Till our deck so sharply tilted that you scarce could keep your feet,
[E] As we halt her from the rocks of [A]
Akaloo.
[E] [A]
Oh, the combers beat her under, and I thought she'd never rise,
[E] And our main boom it was bending [A] by in two.
With her leer every foot under, and two men at the wheel,
As we [E] halt her from the rocks of [A]
Akaloo.
[E] [A]
[A] Oh, till he word was the island, and to in her was the gale,
[E] And the blinding sleet would cut you through [A] and through.
But our hearts were beating gladly, for no longer could [E] we gaze,
Down till he word at the cliffs of [A] Akaloo.
