Where’s the Captain’s Song?
June 30, 2009 by Francois
There’s a song in the Captain’s purse
I just gotta find it
before she snatches my hands away
I just gotta find it
There’s a wind in the Captain’s purse
I just gotta find it
before she orders my hands to shore
I just gotta find it
There’s a smile in the Captain’s sway
I just gotta find it
before she makes me walk the board
I just gotta find it
on the planks, in the galleys, you’ll know
you’ll find her yes
The Captain, she’ll sail your eyes to shore.
