Captain, Captain

Walt Meskell

[Verse 1]
The sickly captain called to his men and said
"Boys, you better turn the ship again
And head for home
We been out to sea too long."
But one by one, they all passed away
'Til there was no one to hear the captain say
"Boys, I was wrong
We been out to sea too long."

[Chorus]
Oh, Captain, Captain, where can we be?
I fear we’ve drifted into frozen sea
Oh, Captain, Captain, the crew is short
We're doomed unless we turn and head for port
Ah, ooh

[Verse 2]
Thirty days of an arctic night
And the captain cried until he lost his sight
But hе couldn't turn back
At least until the ice would crack
And as hе paced his frozen deck
Haunted by the boys he’d wrecked
He cursed the ice
And he closed his eyes

[Chorus]
Oh, Captain, Captain, where can we be?
I fear we've drifted into frozen sea
Captain, Captain, the crew is short
We're doomed unless we turn and head for port
Oh, Captain, Captain, where can we be?
I fear we've drifted into frozen sea
Ah, ooh
