To the New York trader I did belong, She was fit for sea, both stout and strong, Well-manned, well-rigged, well-fit for sea, Bound for New York in a merry cage.
On the fourth of March we did set sail, All on the sweet and the pleasant kale, With hearts undaunted we set for sea, Bound for New York in a merry cage.
A cruel captain, as we did find, Left half of our provisions behind, A cruel captain, you'll understand, Meant to starve us all before we reached the land.
As our captain in his cabin lay, A voice came to him and it said, Prepare [Em] yourself and ship's company, For tomorrow night you must lie with me.
Our captain awoke in a terrible fright, It being the fourth night of the night, Loud for his bow, sudden he did call, To him relate the secret song.
Well, son, says he, it does grieve my heart, To think of at the Devilion's part, To take what was not my love, O Jew, For to fail [E] to pass, and your gunnery ship's crew.
There's one more thing that I have to tell, When I in Waggatport town did [Em] dwell, I killed my master a merchant there, For the sake of his lady fair.
I killed my wife and my children three, For that caused the jealousy, And on my seventh I laid the blame, And he [F] was mad.
[E]
[Em] O Captain, Captain, if that be so, Pray let none of the ship's crew know, But keep that secret [B] all in your breast, [E] And pray the Lord may grant you rest.
[C] The very [E] next morning the storm did rise, And the world demanded much surprise, The [Em] seas came over, the foe in bat, The [B] scarce one man, not that [E] was there.
I kept the false and the Egypt declare, That Captain was a murderer, This [Em] all was rage, And the whole ship's crew, They all [E] aboard, out [E] of the Jew.
All of a sudden the trompe l'oeil, A blue little ship off towards the sea, And the wind [Em] that faded in from the seas, And we sailed [F] on for a [E] very day.
I know what you need, I stand in your shore, I've got a little ship for you to repair, And even [Em] the one I love must go, With all this [B] dread, this patched ship left for [E] where we'll be.
He's so sad, I'm so sad, Where will you be, I long and pray you may find me, Have you long [Em] gone, I long to take your place, I'm never going to fade,
[E] With the owner of the sea.
