Well, it's

the anchors have been weighed

From Miami to Nassau,

she's bound to cross the waves

She's a -headin' south to Biscayne Bay
G
Am
she's a -dyin' and don't know it
C
Oh, the many years she's been to sea,
G
she's seen the better times
Am
She gives a groan of protest
G
Am
as they cast away her lines
C
And the grumble of her engines
G
and the rust along her spine
Am
G
Am
Tells the castle she's too old to be sailin'
C
But the sands run out within her heart
Am

And smolders through the evening
Am
There's a laughter overhead
Well, the dinner's served,

While deep within the fire

It's midnight on the open sea,

the moon is a -shining bright

Some people join the party

and the others say goodnight

There's many who are sleeping now,

it's been such a busy day

G
Am
And a tiny whisp of smoke is a -risin'
Oh Lord, she groans,
Am
G
But her silent plea is a -wasted
Am
and a -playin' off the band
C
Everybody's dancin' on the deck
G
and a -havin' such a time
Am
G
and a voice says shut up and deal
Am
C
I'm losing deep within the arm of castle

the fire begins to glow

it leaps into the hallways
Am
and climbs and twists and
grows the paint she wore
C
G
to keep her young oh lord
Am
I will it burns and soon that old
G
Am
The fire is a -ragin'
C
Beneath the bridge she's a -climbin'
G
Now the captain stands aloft
Am

He calls up to the bosun
Am
Says, bosun, we're lost
C
Them ragged hoses and their racks
G
No pressure do they hold
Am
G
Am
And the people down below are dyin'
C
Well, amid ships, oh, she's a -blazin'
G
Now it's spreadin' for an aft
Am
G
And the people are a -scramblin'
Am
As the fire blocks their path
C
And evil smoke surrounds them
G
And they're fallin' in their tracks
Am
And the captain in his life
G
Am
boat is a -leavin'
C
Oh, then the ship Bahama Star
G
comes steamin' through the night

She sees the castle a -blazin'
Am
and it is a terrible sight
Jump down, jump down,

we'll save you if we can

And the paint on his funnels is a -fryin'

cue upon this cerebral day

and at times a -growin' slim

For now, from stern to bow,
C
Oh, the Yarmouth Castle's moanin'
G
She's a -cryin' like a child
Am
G
You can hear her if you listen
Am
Above the roar so wild
C
Is she cryin' for the ones who lie
Am
Or is she cryin' for herself
G
Am
I'm a -wond 'rin'
C
And soon they all were rescued
G
The ones who lived to tell
Am
G
And from the star they watched her
Am
As she died there in the swells
C
Like a toy ship on a mill pond
G
She burned all through the night
Am
G
Am
And slip neath the waves in the mornin'
