Ryan Macellaro Whydah
you were standing by the ocean
when my tall ship passed by
you were waiting by the ocean when i saw your hand high
say don't leave here stay at sea for too long oh my dear
the grass is waiting for your footsteps
though the longboats are near
you were waiting for a notion to convince me to stay
you were certain my compulsions what decided my fate
but I say dear it's much more than a rogue that I am
im a sailor not a dreamer
one that does what he says
oh I know dear how they hate me
how they say I'm a fool
but they'll see dear they'll respect me
when I come back for you
I will bring dear all I need just to take you away
we will live dear for forever
far away from their hate
please don't weep oh my dear lady
i'll return with the tide
please don't lose sleep while you're waiting
or carress the night sky
I am coming when my voyage
to the north sea is ended
and my ship you may watch for the biggest sails you've ever seen
please don't take thought my dear lady
for my love of the sea
nor the gold ill come bearing
for I sail dear for thee!
there is no dame that is fairer nor a heart that I seek
save for thee
nova scotia i will enter
french canadian land
fair totuga i'll present her
new viginia's white sand
all the waves they wont pull me
to the fate of old Jones
for the sea she will answer
shes is never my foe
i'll relent her
i'll relieve her
i will free slaves of old
i will feed them
i will keep them
far away from the rogues
i will guide her i will teach her
to be kind and be free
but i will leave her i'll deceive her
only for the heart of thee
you were standing by the ocean
when my tall ship passed by
(girl part)
I was waiting by the ocean when I saw your hand high
Oh don't leave here stay at sea for too long oh my dear
the grass is waiting for our footsteps
though the longboats are near
