Lyrics
Old Davy Jones, and the wind blows, the Dutchman is following me.
My whaler flies,
beneth the skies, on a blue bubbling sea.
I look off the stearn, as the sea churns, a ghost ship follows thee
Thee Dutchman is there, with all her despair,
and she's closing on me.
I've sailed 40 years, thru the pain and the tears, Whaling on the sea.
I fear the unknown, for the sins of my past, and time is closing on me.
I look off the stearn, as the sea churns, a ghost ship follows thee
Old Davy jones says: Matey won't ya come home, and he's looking at me
CHORUS:
Red sky in morning, sailors take warning, Red Sky at night, Sailors Delight.
Red sky in morning, sailors take warning, Red Sky at night, the Dutchman's in flight.
Old Salties, & old Mates, they still sail with me.
Their Ghost lingers on, from an old sailors songs, that haunts my memories.
Generations of men made their living this way & some to the locker thats the price that they pay.
the Dutchman is there, with all her dispair, and she's closing on me.
One stormy night, with thundering light, the Dutchman was right upon us.
She pulled to our port side, and gave us a ride, Old davies eyes filled with lust.
he grabbed at my arm, and tried to pull me abroad, the Dutchman waiting for me.
But just as he did, a wave washed him away, I then knew I was free
Now Mates, my story, don't take it lighty
If you do, on the ocean's of blue, you'll interest Old Davy
Just look off the stearn, as the sea churns, a ghost ship out of the blue.
the Dutchman is there, with all her dispair, and she's closing on you.
