Now the Captain called me to his bed He fumbled for my hand "Take these silver bars," he said "I'm giving you command" "Command of what, there's no one here There's only you and me All the rest are dead or in retreat Or with the enemy" "Complain, complain, that's all you've done Ever since we lost If it's not the Crucifixion Then it's the Holocaust" "May Christ have mercy on your soul For making such a joke Amid these hearts that burn like coal And the flesh that rose like smoke" "I know that you have suffered, lad But suffer this awhile Whatever makes a soldier sad Will make a killer smile" "I'm leaving, Captain, and I've got to go There's blood upon your hand But tell me, Captain, if you know Of a decent place to stand" "There is no decent place to stand In a massacre But if a woman take your hand Then go and stand with her" "I left a wife in Tennessee And a baby in Saigon I risked my life, but not to hear Some country-western song" "Ah but if you cannot raise your love To a very high degree Then you're just the man I've been thinking of So come and stand with me" "Your standing days are done," I cried "You'll rally me no more I don't even know what side We fought on, or what for" "I'm on the side that's always lost Against the side of Heaven I'm on the side of Snake-eyes tossed Against the side of Seven And I've read the Bill of Human Rights And some of it was true But there wasn't any burden left So I'm laying it on you" Now the Captain he was dying But the Captain wasn't hurt The silver bars were in my hand I pinned them to my shirt

(Cap D) Drunken sailors always favor To savor the flavor Of rum that they won From the fruits of their labors Braver from their greater Tolerance for them vapors Alcohol always falls At the root of their Capers What happens when they sawing log In a haze or a fog Face first in their grog? You gotta leave em with a mark cause they bein a wog! How dare they call them selves a great sea dawg Piss on their leg, pose em up on their peg Kick them off of their keg, crush their head like an Egg We don't tolerate debates cause your late Yet in a sad sorry state supposed to man your post by 8 (Chorus) What do we do with a drunken sailor You know we got them drunken sailors What we gonna do with them drunken sailors? Earl ae in the mornin? (Wake em up yo) (Admirality) Eeeeeeearly in the morning is when sailors get to Drinking In the Royal British Navy where the whiskey does the Thinking! Make haste to the waste when them mugs begin a clinking Yeah you pirates lack the bullocks for the bottles we Be sinking We're Steaming! The sun's up over the yardarm, Dreaming of the better times when we're becalmed When you don't know your name, and you smell like a Farm Time to pop another cork and do yourself some harm You may see fit to complain but we can sail when we're Tanked, Getting the job done while you boys be collapsing like Banks Pissed as rats but propped up in immaculate ranks (Chorus) (Sea Dawg) A drunken sailor, is there any other kind? Where we come from the sober are very hard to find Why else are we inclined to be so unkind We leave the daily grind behind and risk one eye goin' Blind Our style is here, albeit a bit belated, A fiery breeze in a field so saturated Yer sound can be drowned by the screams of others If the scurvy crew knocks ye down Ye might never recover So take cover Lest ye discover how Merciless we are On the battlefield, the card table, or the bar We don't give in, we never falter Not a man who serves with us will sniff the hempen Halter We'd rather die in battle instead, My men get paid unless they're swingin the lead, Fight with me and you'll lose at least a leg, Sorry I meant yer head Once I made a jury mast from the enemy's dead

She walks past the soldiers out in the street Stays to the side with her eyes on her feet She hardly makes a whisper, just barely a word And this was all the baby heard Be still Moses, don't make a sound Be still Moses, don't make a sound Be still Moses, don't make a sound Keep your head down Lying on the bank where the cool water flows A baby's crying for a mother that he'll never know She says the pharaoh wants you to die So I'm leaving you here if you're gonna survive Be still Moses, don't make a sound Be still Moses, don't make a sound Be still Moses, don't make a sound Keep your head down You're gonna be there when he parts the tide And leads all the people to the other side Climb that mountain by the lord's goodwill But right now boy you better be still Be still Moses, don't make a sound Be still Moses, don't make a sound Be still Moses, don't make a sound Keep your head down Be still Moses, don't make a sound Be still Moses, don't make a sound Be still Moses, don't make a sound Keep your head down Be still Moses, don't make a sound Be still Moses, don't make a sound Be still Moses, don't make a sound Keep your head down Keep your head down Keep your head down

You're gonna leave I better get used to that I thought I might watch your back All the time You introduced me to The whole wide world, who Lights up the way I do When you walk up smiling Open me right up Find the joy of way too much Find the pain in never enough Dancin' their dance Arm in arm Circling 'round this room Like the sun a'chasing the moon Yeah you open me up I'm in my bare feet, standing in the clover I got you buzzing around my head I don't care if I get stung For a little bit of honey on my tongue For a little bit of honey on my tonguе You can't keep a secret Or leavе a keepsake on the shelf Every little bit of yourself You give it away Is it mine to tell That you oughta go carefully Baby leave that care for me Run along and play I'm in my bare feet, standing in the clover I got you buzzing around my head I don't care if I get stung For a little bit of honey on my tongue In my bare feet, standing in the clover I got you buzzing around my head I don't care if I get stung For a little bit of honey on my tongue For a little bit of honey on my tongue For a little bit of honey on my tongue You're gonna leave I better get used to that I thought I might watch your back All the time
