Everybody listen to me and return me my ship
I'm your captain I'm your captain
Though I'm feeling mighty sick
I've been lost now days uncounted
And it's months since I've seen home
Can you hear me can you hear me
Or am I all alone
If you'll return me to my home port
I will kiss you mother earth
Take me back now take me back now
To the port of my birth
Or are you really scheming
To take my ship away from me
You'd better think about it
I just can't live without it
So please don't take my ship from me yeah yeah
(Riff 1 Twice)
I can feel the hand of a stranger
As it's tightening around my throat
Heaven help me heaven help me
Take this stranger from my boat
I'm your captain I'm your captain
Though I'm feeling mighty sick
Everybody listen to me
And return me my ship
I'm your captain yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm your captain yeah yeah yeah yeah
