Captain My Captain is a song in English
C son of the south, he soon figured it out
He had a gift of the pen and the song
With clever wit he was blessed, stood on the deck
Made him happy as the day was long
In a thousand small bars in his hands his guitar
Singing songs of the sea and the sand
From Biloxi to Boston to the city of custin
Finding home on a Salty Piece of Land
Captain my captain oh where are you going?
You've gone and you've left us undone
Steered us all through the years now it's too late I fear
For just one more trip around the sun
With blenders all whirring, our boat drinks we're stirring
Just deck hands tacking into the breeze
On a Saturday evening, he had us believing
We're all pirates sailing on the high seas
It was our own little church, our altar the surf
With a red sky such a sailor's delight
With torch lights aglow we all seemed to know
Come monday it'll be alright
Captain my captain oh where are you going?
You've gone and you've left us undone
Steered us all through the years now it's too late I fear
For just one more trip around the sun
So line ‘em all up and we'll send up a toast
He always had the right words when we needed them most
Now words won't come, but the tears they do fall
Captain my captain, keep guiding us all
He was our North Star our chart, with his schoolboy heart
cnd a twinkle in his eyes so blue
Standing there at the rail, with unfurling sails
He set the compass and always steered true
Now he's in some cantina in his hand a tequila
Some blue heaven rendezvous
One day we'll all be together and we'll sail on forever
It will be one lovely cruise
Captain my captain oh where are you going?
You've gone and you've left us undone
Steered us all through the years now it's too late I fear
For just one more trip around the sun
Just one more trip around the sun
