lyrics
Aye Aye, Captain Bligh
(c) 2019 Roots Asylum
When I was a younger man cruising through life without a plan
Heading in to the unknown, Odysseus meets Romeo
She couldn't see she was a wreck and tied the albatross to my neck
Weighing on me in these slippery seas, makes it hard for navigating
Aye Aye, Captain Bligh
Never mind the wing in my eye
We'll steer the ship 'cross the southern shore
And we can sail away forevermore
Aye Aye, Captain Bligh
Never mind the wing in my eye
We'll steer the ship 'cross the southern shore
And we can sail away forevermore
We sailed off in to the sun's eye, all of us are just regular guys
Trying now to find our names, cutting a wake through the oceans we tame
Legends of mermaids, white whales and kings, and a Spanish tune that the parrot sings
The ship is for real and so is the crew, you better batten down the hatches, were coming for you
Aye Aye, Captain Bligh
Never mind the wing in my eye
We'll steer the ship 'cross the southern shore
And we can sail away forevermore
Aye Aye, Captain Bligh
Never mind the wing in my eye
We'll steer the ship 'cross the southern shore
And we can sail away forevermore
Last verse same as the first
