The Woman and the Bell

Captain, if it's all the same to you

Let me ready a lifeboat

Sorry, son, though your heart may be true,

You'd best get it stoutened or I'll run it through.

Here's a sip to wash the wicked words back down your throat.I know my ship, my catch, and my men,

And I know what you think you've seen"

Captain, you may well take offense,

But something has to be done nonetheless

Or it's off to Davy's Locker for to calm the sea.Sir, it's angry, you're not listening,

I saw a woman, I heard a bell.Captain, the rum welling up in your eyes

Will chase neither care nor curse

Nor will abstinence, son, for my fertile mind bore this ghost

Of the true dove that I've left behind, and you'll make her haunt

No lifeboat while I'm gone from her.I hear the peal of our wedding bells

Many miles away and months from nowCaptain, if you can't but do well by a phantom future,

You're destined to dwell and weep and gnash your teeth

With all the rightly drowned.Sir, I'm fighting for a home on the Fiddler's Green,

Not for a woman and a bell.Captain, the sea took your ship, catch, and men,

Left you, me, and this lifeboat

Sorry, son, you're dead wrong again.

I'll sail on with only the love you condemn,

Having offered up your weak heart for a safe trip home.
