Verse 1
Dm
F
C
Well, it's
Dm
four o 'clock
F
in the afternoon,
C
the anchors have been weighed
Dm
C
From Miam i to Nas sau,
Dm
she's bound to cross the waves
F
She's a -headin' south to Biscayne Bay
C
and to the open sea
Dm
Yarmouth Castle,
C
Dm
she's a -dyin' and don't know it
F
Oh, the many years she's been to sea,
C
she's seen the better times
Dm
She gives a groan of protest
C
Dm
as they cast away her lines
F
And the grumble of her engines
C
and the rust along her spine
Dm
C
Dm
Tells the castle she's too old to be sailin'
F
But the sands run out within her heart
C
A tiny spark glows red
Dm
C
And smolders through the evening
Dm
There's a laughter overhead
Well, the dinner's served,
F
the cards are dealt
C
And the drinks are passed around
Dm
C
While deep within the fire
Dm
starts a -burning
F
It's midnight on the open sea,
C
the moon is a -shining bright
Dm
C
Some people join the party
Dm
and the others say goodnight
F
There's many who are sleeping now,
C
it's been such a busy day
Dm
C
Dm
And a tiny whisp of smoke is a -risin'
Oh Lord, she groans,
F
I'm burnin',
C
let someone understand
Dm
C
But her silent plea is a -wasted
Dm
and a -playin' off the band
F
Everybody's dancin' on the deck
C
and a -havin' such a time
Dm
C
and a voice says shut up and deal
Dm
F
I'm losing deep within the arm of castle
C
the fire begins to glow
Dm
C
it leaps into the hall ways
Dm
and climbs and twists and
grows the paint she wore
F
C
to keep her young oh lord
Dm
I will it burns and soon that old
C
Dm
The fire is a -ragin'
F
Beneath the bridge she's a -climbin'
C
Now the captain stands aloft
Dm
C
He call s up to the bosun
Dm
Says, bosun, we're lost
F
Them ragged hoses and their racks
C
No pres sure do they hold
Dm
C
Dm
And the people down be low are dyin'
F
Well, amid ships, oh, she's a -blazin'
C
Now it's spreadin' for an aft
Dm
C
And the people are a -scramblin'
Dm
As the fire blocks their path
F
And evil smoke sur rounds them
C
And they're fallin' in their tracks
Dm
And the captain in his life
C
Dm
boat is a -leavin'
F
Oh, then the ship Ba hama Star
C
comes steamin' through the night
Dm
C
She sees the castle a -blazin'
Dm
and it is a terrible sight
Jump down, jump down,
F
a captain cries,
C
we'll save you if we can
Dm
C
Dm
And the paint on his funnels is a -fryin'
F
God help the ones who sleep below
C
and can not find their way
Dm
C
Thank God for those we res
Dm
cue upon this cerebral day
F
Oh, the heroes they are many
C
and at times a -growin' slim
Dm
C
For now, from stern to bow,
Dm
she's a -blazin'
F
Oh, the Yarmouth Castle's moanin'
C
She's a -cryin' like a child
Dm
C
You can hear her if you listen
Dm
Above the roar so wild
F
Is she cryin' for the ones who lie
C
With in her molten size
Dm
Or is she cryin' for herself
C
Dm
I'm a -wond 'rin'
F
And soon they all were rescued
C
The ones who lived to tell
Dm
C
And from the star they watched her
Dm
As she died there in the swells
F
Like a toy ship on a mill pond
C
She burned all through the night
Dm
C
Dm
And slip neath the waves in the mornin'
