- Everybody,
- listen to me,
- and return me, my ship.
- I'm your captain, I'm your captain,
- though I'm feeling mighty sick.
- I've been lost now,
- days uncounted,
- and it's months since,
- I've seen home.
- Can you hear me, can you hear me,
- or am I all alone?
- If you return me,
- to my home port,
- I will kiss you,
- mother earth.
- Take me back now, take me back now,
- to the port, of my birth.
- Am I in my cabin dreaming,
- or are you really scheming,
- to take my ship away from me.
- You'd better think about it,
- I jsut can't live without it,
- so please don't take my ship from me.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- I can feel the hand,
- of a stranger,
- and it tightening,
- around my throat.
- Heaven help me, heaven help me,
- take this stranger, from my boat.
- I'm your captain, I'm your captain,
- though I'm feeling mighty sick.
- Everybody, listen to me,
- and return me, my ship,
- I'm your captain, yeah yeah yeah yeah
- I'm your captain, yeah yeah yeah yeah
- I'm your captain, yeah yeah yeah yeah
- I'm your captain, yeah yeah yeah yeah
-
- I'm getting closer to my home.
- I'm getting closer to my home.
