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
