A Salty Dog Lyrics

All hands on deck
We′ll run afloat
I heard the captain cry
Explore the ship
Replace the cook
Let no one leave alive

Across the straits
Around the horn
How far can sailors fly?
A twisted path
A tortured course
And no one left to lie

We sailed the parts
Unknown to man
Where ships come home to die
No lofty peak
No fortress bold
Could match our captain's eye

Upon the seven seas set death
We made our path of course
Sands so white
And seas so blue
No more good place can I go

We fired the guns
And burned the mast
Rowed from ship to shore
The captain cried
We sailors wept
Our tears were tears of joy
How many fools
How many Jews
How far since we made land?

Long ago
The sea has lost
Your witness by your hand
