All around old Cape Horn Ships of the line, ships of the morn Some who wish they'd never been born They are the ghosts of Cape Horn Fal deral da riddle de rum With a rim dim diddy And a rum dumb dumb Sailing away at the break of dawn They are the ghosts of Cape Horn See them all in sad repair Demons dance everywhere Southern gales, tattered sails And none to tell the tales Come all of you rustic old sea dogs Who follow the great Southern Cross You we're rounding the Horn In the eye of a storm When ya lost 'er one day And you read all yer letters From oceans away Then you took them to the bottom of the sea All around old Cape Horn Ships of the line, ships of the morn Those who wish they'd never been born They are the ghosts of Cape Horn Fal deral da riddle de rum With a rim dim diddy And a rum dumb dumb Sailing away at the break of dawn They are the ghosts of Cape Horn Come all you old sea dogs from Devon Southampton, Penzance, and Kinsale You were caught by the chance Of a sailor's last dance It was not meant to be And ya read all yer letters Cried anchor aweigh Then ya took them to the bottom of the sea All around old Cape Horn Ships of the line, ships of the morn Those who wish they'd never been born They are the ghosts of Cape Horn Fal deral da riddle de rum With a rim dim diddy And a rum dumb dumb Sailing away at the break of dawn They are the ghosts of Cape Horn
