Styx - A Salty Dog Lyrics
'all hands on deck, we've 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, our tortured course, and no one left aliveWe sailed for parts unknown to man, where ships come home to dieNo lofty peak, nor fortress bold, could match our captain's eyeUpon the seventh seasick day we made our port of callA sand so white, and sea so blue, no mortal place at allWe fired the gun, and burnt the mast, and rowed from ship to shoreThe captain cried, we sailors wept: our tears were tears of joyNow many moons and many junes have passed since we made landA salty dog, this seaman's log: your witness my own hand
