Twas in a Bristol Pub   On a windy night   The old sea dog sat down   He looked at the young lads   Raised his pint   And said Come boys, gather round      Twas in Dublin Town   I Left my girl   For the call of the sea   She begged me to stay   And I looked back to yell   Fare thee well my Pretty Little Girl   I must sail away   Fare thee well my Pretty Little Girl   I Shall return one day      We sailed with the tide   On for a day   Till the time when   The Albatross came.   The bird flew our wake   For days, all the same   Save for one foolish mistake   The Bird was shot lame      Oh Sail away with me boys   Till we reach the bright Horizon   And there waiting at the edge of the world   Is where your dreams be hiding   Oh sail away with me boys   Past the waters calm   And there waiting at the edge of the world   All the treasures of kings will lie   In your palm      Now, with the bird being dead   Upon the deck   We'd unleashed the furies of Hell   Cried out by the Captain's Bell   We were tossed and turned   Sunken and burned   And we found ourselves where the dragons lie   Over the equator and lattitude lines      We may be   On the far side of the world   We may be   On the far side of the world   You may never   Return to that girl   You may never   Return to that girl      Oh Sail away with me boys   Till we reach the bright Horizon   And there waiting at the edge of the world   Is where your dreams be hiding   Oh sail away with me boys   Past the waters calm   And there waiting at the edge of the world   All the treasures of kings will lie   In your palm      The sea dog closed his eyes   And walked into the gale   Strolled along the docks   He watched the tide rise   And saw a tattered old sail   And he sat down on the rocks      And the ocean called him home   To take him back to his home   Back to the girl he'd promised his return   And in that moment of despair   He looked into the air   Where the Albatross was aloft   And the old sea dog thought      I may be   On the far side of the world   I may be   On the far side of the world   I may never   Return to that girl   I may never   Return to that girl      But I Sailed away with the boys   Till we reached the bright Horizon   And there waiting at the edge of the world   Is where my dreams were hiding   I sailed away with the boys   Past the waters calm   And there waiting at the edge of the world   All the treasures of kings will lay   In my palm      But no silver or gold   Or woman or bird   Could satisfy the call    That came from her   Ocean carry me home...
