	Lyrics My galleon is large and it cuts through the waves the briny deep is my home The barnacle shells have covered my legs The four winds at my back, where are you my lass? chorus: I left ye at port o'er many a year And ne'er did I tarry Ye waved at this grizzled ol sea dog with a hankie of purity bright Now the barometer pressure is falling Just like the pit of ma stomach! As we crash to the valley of oceans black depths And aye! how my heart swells! To the tops of the crests of the mountainous range That is blue like my mind as I left you behind in that port half a world away. The mizen mast rises up to heaven as lady luck be our guide But none crueller woman has ever existed Smiling down, evil fate! She seeks to tear us apart. chorus: I left ye at port o'er many a year And ne'er did I tarry Ye waved at this grizzled ol sea dog with a hankie of purity bright Succeeded did she-- to truth brought the nightmares for when I returned ye were gone My ship it was docked and I strode to your house as right as the rain I was feelin but a single cold sentry was there in the square a grave by the light of the moon Aye, your grave by the light of the moon. chorus: I left ye at port o'er many a year And ne'er did I tarry Ye waved at this grizzled ol sea dog with a hankie of purity bright and now do you beckon from paradise high calling me forth to your home and my boat, she doth ride, the south wind is my guide as I ride from the land the ships wheel in my hand To the place in mens hearts you now roam.
