On the dark and Stormy Blue
And I held tight to the Captain's might
As he pulled up his trews
"You haven't slept, heave ho" he said
Oh I will sleep when we reach shore
And pray we get there soon.
He said "Now hush love, here's your gown"
"There's the bed, Lanterns down"
But I don't want to go to sleep
And tied me up with sheets.
A storm is brewing in the south
It's time you go to sleep
The ocean gnashed and moaned
Like Johna we'll be swallowed whole
And spat back teeth and bones
He said "Now hush love, here's your gown"
"There's the bed, lanterns down"
But I don't want to go to sleep
I will warm your cot at night
And mop your cabin floors
The only thing I beg of you
Don't make me go to sleep.
His pillow dulled the brink
The curtains ran between my legs
As the ship was rent and filled
Eddie's in the water headed
There's the bed, lanterns down
I'm begging you please wake me up
