Shiver me timbers
I'm leavin' my fam'lyLeavin' all my friendsMy body's at homeBut my heart's in the windWhere the clouds are like headlinesOn a new front page skyMy tears are salt waterAnd the moon's full and high
And I know Martin Eden'sGonna be proud of meAnd many before meWho've been called by the seaTo be up in the crow's nestSingin' my sayShiver me Timbers'Cause I'm a-sailin' away
And the fog's liftin'And the sand's shiftin'I'm driftin' on outOl' Captain AhabHe ain't got nothin' on me, now.So swallow me, don't follow meI'm trav'lin' aloneBlue water's my daughter'n I'm gonna skip like a stone
So please call my missusGotta tell her not to cry'Cause my goodbye is writtenBy the moon in the skyHey and nobody knows meI can't fathom my stayin'Shiver me timbers'Cause I'm a-sailin' away
And the fog's liftin'And the sand's shiftin'I'm driftin' on outOl' Captain AhabHe ain't got nothin' on meSo come and swallow me, follow meI'm trav'lin' aloneBlue water's my daughter'n I'm gonna skip like a stone
And I'm leavin' my familyLeavin' all my friendsMy body's at homeBut my heart's in the windWhere the clouds are like headlinesUpon a new front page skyAnd shiver me timbers'Cause I'm a-sailin' away
