lyrics

My name is Jack Coffey of old Newport town
A sailor by trade, that’s the life that I’ve made
And decades have passed since I first went to sea
To lands full of fear, so bravely I’ve steered

I’ve ploughed the salt main to the edge of the world
Where the sun meets the moon and the stars sing strange tunes
I’ve seen men without faces, men with no heads at all
Monsters big as houses, they fly on great wings

I’ve killed thousands of men with my knife and my gun
There's so much blood upon me, Hell will not contain me
But a curse was laid upon me by a far eastern king
That never shall I find home, for all time must I roam

And do you still wait for me there alone
The girl that I wed threescore years ago
I still carry your ring here with me
Though my doom is to stay at sea
