Captain Charlie was his name Oh, his heart was made of steel. He always kept his crew in line Though, his spirit, he kept concealed The captain knew just where to go When the gales were just too bold. His keen eye and his will to lead Kept the lads all in his hold So we'll all mourn for ol' Charlie For his life was lost at sea His soul was snatched by a nasty wave And the ocean set him free And we'll all mourn for ol' Charlie He was the bravest man I'd known. But when we saw his body rise in the ocean, his eyes were made of stone. Captain Charlie's lass was fair As the sunrise in the morn So when he left for the sea's embrace The only thing she did was mourn Her tears were as salty as his grave For with child, she would lay Without her lover by her side Things would never be the same. So we'll all mourn for ol' Charlie For his life was lost at sea His soul was snatched by a nasty wave And the ocean set him free And we'll all mourn for ol' Charlie He loved his lady to the bone. But when we saw his body rise in the ocean, his eyes were made of stone. Captain Charlie is a tale 'How the seas are not your friend. The crew broke up and the babe was born And his wife had met her end. The young lad grew into a man And took his father's place As the captain of his own platoon With the same look on his face So we'll all mourn for ol' Charlie For his life was lost at sea His soul was snatched by a nasty wave And the ocean set him free And we'll all mourn for ol' Charlie But his son was next to go So when we see his body rise in the ocean, Ol' Charlie won't be alone. So when we see his body rise in the ocean, Ol' Charlie won't be alone.
