North seas are softly sighin'
Fair winds will bring us home
Our souls to save from dyin'
No more will we roam
Our hunt is finally over
Whale oil is safe and sound
Left us in depths of nowhere
Full sails we're homeward bound
Three months in north Atlantic
Four hundred miles from shore
Each heart aboard was yearning
Our homes to see once more
Final strip stood before us
Grand banks where the currents meet
O'er us clouds were hangin'
'nother tempest to defeat
Chorus:
Raging storm and water,
water everywhere
Not a single drop that's left for me to drink
Waves will toss us on and on
Roll and roll us to the shore
But while our kegs are filled with rum
Our hopes will never sink
Lightnin' bolts ripped the skyline
Skies burnt in the night
Wailing crew left to witness
Oceans' rage in all its might
Giant waves decks were sweeping
Raging gales our sails were torn
Nearing death we were screaming
Voices lost in thunder's roar
Mainsail mast went to splinters
Shallow rocks our keel had shot
Hell broke loose she went under
Wretched souls were left afloat
Craggy reefs in foggy dawning
Rang out with distant sound
Of the sailors' desperate prayer for
Avalon and holy ground
