《Capitol Ship》歌词

[00:00:00] Capitol Ship - Glenn Yarbrough

[00:00:09] A capital ship for an ocean trip

[00:00:11] Was the Walloping Window Blind

[00:00:13] No wind that blew dismayed her crew

[00:00:15] Or troubled the captain's mind

[00:00:17] The man at the wheel was made to feel

[00:00:19] Contempt for the wildest blow

[00:00:23] Though it oft appeared when the gale had cleared

[00:00:25] That he'd been in his bunk below

[00:00:28] So blow ye winds heigh ho

[00:00:29] A roving I will go

[00:00:31] I'll stay no more on England's shore

[00:00:33] So let the music play

[00:00:35] I'm off for the morning train

[00:00:37] To cross the raging main

[00:00:39] I'm off to my love with a boxing glove

[00:00:41] 10 000 miles away

[00:00:47] The boss mate was very sedate

[00:00:49] Yet fond of amusement too

[00:00:50] He played hop scotch with the starboard watch

[00:00:53] While the captain tickled the crew

[00:00:55] The gunner he was apparently mad

[00:00:57] For he sat on the after rail

[00:01:00] And fired salutes with the captain's boots

[00:01:03] In the teeth of a booming gale

[00:01:13] Then we all fell ill as mariners will

[00:01:15] On a diet that's rough and crude

[00:01:17] And we shivered and shook

[00:01:18] As we dipped the cook

[00:01:19] In a tub of his gluesome food

[00:01:21] All nautical pride we cast aside

[00:01:23] And we ran the vessel ashore

[00:01:26] On the Gulliby Isles

[00:01:27] Where the poopoo smiles

[00:01:28] And the rubbily ubdugs roar

[00:01:30] Blow ye winds heigh ho

[00:01:32] A roving I will go

[00:01:34] I'll stay no more on England's shore

[00:01:36] So let the music play

[00:01:38] I'm off for the morning train

[00:01:40] To cross the raging main

[00:01:42] I'm off to my love with a boxing glove

[00:01:44] 10 000 miles away

[00:01:50] Composed of sand was that favored land

[00:01:52] And trimmed with cinnamon straws

[00:01:54] And pink and blue was the pleasing hue

[00:01:56] Of the ticke toe teaser's claws

[00:01:58] We sat on the edge of a sandy ledge

[00:02:01] And shot at the whistling bee

[00:02:05] While the rugabug bats wore waterproof hats

[00:02:07] As they dipped in the shining sea

[00:02:12] On rugabug bark from dawn till dark

[00:02:14] We dined till we all had grown

[00:02:17] Uncommonly shrunk when a Chinese junk

[00:02:19] Came up from the Torrible Zone

[00:02:21] She was stubby and square

[00:02:22] But we didn't much care

[00:02:23] So we cherrily put to sea

[00:02:28] And we left all the crew of the junk to chew

[00:02:30] On the bark of the rubabug tree

[00:02:32] Blow ye winds heigh ho

[00:02:34] A roving I will go

[00:02:36] I'll stay no more on England's shore

[00:02:38] So let the music play

[00:02:40] I'm off for the morning train

[00:02:42] To cross the raging main

[00:02:44] I'm off to my love with a boxing glove

[00:02:46] 10 000 miles away
