The sea calls, out to an old hand To go sailing to new lands They pay for your worth Bread drink and a berth... Ah honey I've got to go The ship took the crew off to new lands The boson piped all hands And with it you'll go A journey to the unknown... Ah honey I've got to go The road bends, back to where we sent The signals out to the men Did they make it on board With fire and the sword? Ah honey I've got to go Can you hear the winds blow? It shakes your spirit and your soul I've tried, to stay true and stay on land But the call of the ocean Is so hard to ignore It's why I'm leaving your door... Ah honey, I've got to go I've seen, a ship with a black sail When the wind howls and the ghosts wail Dead men they don't bite Their faces haunt me at night Ah honey I've got to go Can you hear the waves roar? And no sound of the shore It shakes you spirit and your soul I dream of sailing the oceans In a galleon all golden Dead trees in the hearth The way they burn it warms the heart... Ah honey I've got to go The years passed, we travelled and sailed west I'll buy you a new dress With all of my gold Free your spirit and your soul Ah honey, I've got to go Can you hear the winds blow? Shakes your spirit and your soul I've got to go...
