Verse 1:
Gbm
From the crow's nest high

I can spy the little islands
E                         Gbm
Strewn like stones in the salty sea
Gbm
Pour the rum-pum-pum

Hearts are beating like the drum
E                  Gbm
The madness taking me -Hoo!-

Chorus:
D               A
One day, should port be made
     E                 Gbm
I'll miss her, how her waves throw
D               A
This day, we shant delay
     E                 Gbm
On our way, our dear Calypso

Verse 2:
Gbm
From the starboard bow

I can spy a city ruined
E                Gbm
Taken siege by a pirate's lance
Gbm
Plundered gold

That was taken long ago
E                Gbm
Afore we had our chance -Dah!-

Chorus:
D               A
One day, should port be made
     E                 Gbm
I'll miss her, how her waves throw
D               A
This day, we shant delay
     E                 Gbm
On our way, our dear Calypso

Verse 3:
Gbm
From the decks below

I can spy out through the porthole
E                 Gbm
Kingly ships of a naval fleet
Gbm
While we schemed our raid

Our plan had been belayed
E                      Gbm
For they'd made their retreat -Dang it!-

Chorus:
D               A
One day, should port be made
     E                 Gbm
I'll miss her, how her waves throw
D               A
This day, we shant delay
     E                 Gbm
On our way, our dear Calypso

Verse 4:
Gbm
From the port side shroud

I can spy under the moonlight
E                   Gbm
Dreams of fortune awaiting me
Gbm
Gold and rum

All there is under the sun
E                   Gbm
But fate would disagree -Hey!-

Chorus:
D               A
Someday, if port be made
     E                 Gbm
I'll miss her, how her waves throw
D               A
This day, we shant delay
     E                 Gbm
On our way, our dear Calypso

Bridge:
Gbm
At the Captain's wheel

He can spy out the horizon
E                   Gbm
"Hands on deck! Tally-Ho!" he cries
Gbm                                     E                Gbm
"Silver! Gold! Plenty coffers to behold before your very eyes!" -Oh!-

Chorus:
D               A
One day, should port be made
     E                 Gbm
I'll miss her, how her waves throw
D               A
This day, we shant delay
     E                 Gbm
On our way, our dear Calypso
