Ghosts of Cape Horn Lyrics

All around old Cape Horn Ships of the line, ships of the morn Some who wish they'd never been born They are the ghosts of Cape Horn
Fal deral da riddle de rum With a rim dim diddy and a rum dum dum Sailing away at the break of dawn They are the ghosts of Cape Horn
See them all in sad repair Demons dance everywhere Southern gales, tattered sails And none to tell the tales
Come all of you rustic old sea dogs Who follow the great Southern Cross You we're rounding the Horn In the eye of a storm
When ya lost 'er one day And you read all your letters From oceans away Then you took them to the bottom of the sea
All around old Cape Horn Ships of the line, ships of the morn Those who wish they'd never been born They are the ghosts of Cape Horn
Fal deral da riddle de rum With a rim dim diddy and a rum dum dum Sailing away at the break of dawn They are the ghosts of Cape Horn
Come all you old sea dogs from Devon Southampton, Penzance and Kinsale You were caught by the chance Of a sailor's last dance
It was not meant to be And ya read all your letters Cried [Incomprehensible] away Then ya took them to the bottom of the sea
All around old Cape Horn Ships of the line, ships of the morn Some who wish they'd never been born They are the ghosts of Cape Horn
Fal deral da riddle de rum With a rim dim diddy and a rum dum dum Sailing away at the break of dawn They are the ghosts of Cape Horn
