C                   G
Mother, mother ocean,
F                     C
I have heard you call.
C                        G
Wanted to sail upon your waters
F                    C
Since I was three feet tall.
C                     G
You've seen it all, you've seen it all.

C                          G
Watch the man who rode you,
F                      C
Swim the way he swims.
C                          G
Took a job in Ol' St. Augustine
F                     C
Flew a flag of piracy,
C                   G
But it's been a long, long time,
F                  C
Since I’ve been home.

C                       G
And I’ve had my fill of rum,
F                       C
And I’ve had my share of fun.
C                       G
But the sea is my only home,
F                  C
And I’m just a pirate at heart.
