Verse 2:

	We sailed for parts unknown to man
	Where ships crawl home to die

	Could match our captain's eyes

	Upon the seven seasick days
	We made out for the coast
	The sand so white and sea so blue
	No mortal place at all

Verse 3:

	We fired the gun and burned the mast
	And rode from ship to shore
	The captain cried, we sailors wept
	Our tears were tears of joy

	How many moons and many Junes
	Have passed since we made land
	A salty dog, a seaman's log
	Your witness my own hand

[repeat string/piano break; end on Db-5 w/seagulls]
