Been out on a ship for a day and a half
To far from shore so might as well laugh
Going to an island that I only know
Crossing enemy ships that make the canons blow
It'll take months before we even get near
The ocean is quiet and the sky is clear
Watching the sunset while drinking some ale
Listening to a crews old folks tale
It's about a ship that comes only at night
And this gave the crew quite a fright
I was told that the tale was quite the jinx
So we better abandon ship before it sinks
