Verse 2:
 
	We sailed for parts unknown to man
	Where ships come home to die
	No lofty peak   nor fortress bold
	Could match our captain's eye
 
	Upon the seventh seasick day
	We made our port of call
	The sand so white and sea so blue
	No mortal place at all

Verse 3:
 
	We fired the gun and burned the mast
	And rode from ship to shore
	The captain cried, we sailors wept
	Our tears were tears of joy
 
	Now many moons and many Junes
	Have passed since we made land
	And the salty dog, the seaman's log
	Your witness in my own hand
 
[repeat string/piano break; end on Db-5 w/seagulls]
