Yo ho…. Yo ho....
I have sailed the Seven Seas,
From China to Peru,
I’ve kissed a lot of pretty qirls,
And kissed their sisters too.
But there’s one ocean yet to sail,
A voyage I yearn to start,
Across he Sea of Loneliness,
That laps around your heart.
That’s why they call me the Captain of Heartaches,
With no guiding star up above.
Oh, please send a cable,
I’m ready and able,
To sail into the harbour of your love.
Yo ho…. Yo ho....
The dangers of the deep,
Are nothing new to me.
I’ve been marooned so many times,
And many more set free.
Typhoons have tossed me up and down,
The doldrums laid me low.
But I will walk a pirate’s plank,
As long as love’s below.
That’s why they call me the Captain of Heartaches,
With no guiding star up above.
Oh, please send a cable,
I’m ready and able,
To sail into the harbour of your love.
