letra de shipwreck song - mighty joe nolan
[verse 1]
morning sun
is a fair weather friend
it hangs around
’til the fair weather ends
and it left me with rain
on a cold day in may
when the captain said “it’s
time, boys, to sail away.”
[verse 2]
well, i was in my bed
dawn’s early light
with my coat to my left
my love to my right
and out on the street
i heard the deckhands call
so i kissed my sweet
and took the cross from the wall
[verse 3]
well, the sea can be
like a lady in red
she’ll take your life
when she turns your head
on that cold day in may
the sky was black
i heard all the salt say
we would not come back
[verse 4]
we were heading for new york
port of foreign sh-r-
if the drinkin’ don’t k!ll you
the women will for sure
and the hull it was filled
packed to the top
the captain said
“point ‘er west boys
and pray we don’t stop.”
[verse 5]
old bill told a story
about a blind man named lee
who said he could find
his sight if he could see
jim laughed to himself
and drank the hair of the dog
and wrote “poseidon is peaceful”
in the mariner’s log
[verse 6]
well we sailed for two days
on an ocean so flat
you could see neptune comin’
if you knew where he was at
but the third day we sailed
the atlantic awoke
and the sky coughed up lightning
and hailed ’til it choked
[verse 7]
well, the ship it took water
and the wind tore the sail
and the waves washed young jim
right up over the rails
and old bill he was [?]
like a [?] before
when he got struck by lightning
and glowed like the moon
[verse 8]
in the wee, wee hours
the captain, he dreamed
of unsinkable boats
with unbreakable beams
“give my love to my wife!”
the last words from his lips
and like a good captain would
he went down with the ship
[verse 9]
like all great tales
this one too must end
but if you ever come looking
for me my friend
floating in a bottle
is where you’ll find me
with salt in my hair
and my heart out to sea
