Should you sail near the Isle of Capri
There three winged maidens most fair you'll see
One of them, Parthenope
Her song the sweetest of the three
But truth be told, that Siren's tale
Is one of how true love can fail

Enticing sailors with tuneful bait
She fell for one and spared his fate
His name was Athos, the Commodore
He let her board his Man Of War
Their budding love for one another grew
As they sailed the ocean blue

One mate grew thirsty for their blissful life
He coveted the Siren for his wife
So took her captive on Pharos Isle
The Commodore came through in style
But northern winds swept through the docks
And the Man Of War crashed on to the rocks

Parthenope clung to an oar
She could not save the Commodore
With splintered heart the Siren wept
And since that day she has not slept
Returned now to the Caprian shore
There she wails for her Athos forever more
