Seaman’s Pledge

There is a boat on the docks
It’s getting ready to leave
All the fishes are biting in and out
And my nets are pilled and free

A bottle of wine just tells me
That happiness was here once
The joy invades my heart
And I listen to a voice that says

On and on
All that I really want
Is getting back to sea

I'm dizzy, and shaking and bored
The waves come rolling in
But one thing that keeps me calm
Is to know that seas reign over me

The old bottle keeps me warm
In the rough calmness of sea
The Mermaids are singing a song
And I listen their voices as they sing

On and on
All that he really wants
Is getting back to be free
