(silence)
(silence) He was the cap__-tain of the Nightin gale_
Twenty-one days__ from Clyde in coal_
He_ could smell_ the flow_-e-ers_ of Ber muda in the gale_
O_ when he _ died _ on th e North _ Rock_ shoa l_
Just five short hou__-rs from Ber mu_-u_- da_
In_ a fine__ Oc tober gale _
There came a cry_ "Oh_ there_ be breakers dead a head_
From the col_-lier_ Nigh_-tin gale_
No sooner had__ the cap_-tain brought her round_
Came_ a ren__-ding_ crash be low_
Hard on her beam_ ends_ groaning_ went the Nightin gale_
And over side her main mast goes _
"O captain are__ we all for drow_-o_- ning"_
Came_ a cry__ from all_ the crew_
"The boats be smashed! How are_ we all then to be saved?_
They are stove_ in_ through and through_
O are ye brave__ and hardy collier men_
Or are you blind__ and cannot see_
The cap_-tain's_ gig_ still lies_ before ye whole and sound_
And it shall car_-ry_ all_ of we_ (here we go!)
(silence) He was the cap__-tain of the Nightin gale_
Twenty-one days__ from Clyde in coal_
He_ could smell_ the flow_-e-ers_ of Ber muda in the gale_
O_ when he _ died _ on th e North _ Rock_ shoa l_
But when the crew_ were all as semble- bled_
And the gig_ pre pared for sea_
'Twas seen there were_ but_ eighteen places to be manned_
And nineteen mor_-tal souls were we _
But cries the cap tain_ " now do not de lay_
Nor do you spare__ a thought for me_
My duty is_ to_ save you all now if I can_
see ye re turn_ quick as can be_
(silence) He was the cap__-tain of the Nightin gale_
Twenty-one days__ from Clyde in coal_
He_ could smell_ the flow_-e-ers_ of Ber muda in the gale_
O_ when he _ died _ on th e North _ Rock_ shoa l_
(silence)
Oh_ there be flo__-wers in Ber mu_-u_- da_
Beauty lies_ on every hand _
And there be laugh_-ter ease and drink there for every man_
But there is_ no_ joy_ for me_
For when we reached_ the wretched Nightin gale_
What_ an aw__-ful sight was plain _
O the captain_ drowned_ was tangled in the mizzen chains_
Smiling bra_-vely be neath the sea_
(silence) He was the cap__-tain of the Nighti ngale_
Twenty-one days__ from Clyde in coal_
He_ could smell_ the flow_-e-ers_ of Be rmuda in the gale_
O_ when he _ died _ on th e North _ Rock_ shoa l_
(silence) He was the cap__-tain of the Nightin gale_
Twenty-one days__ from Clyde in coal_
He_ could smell_ the flow_-e-ers_ of Ber muda in the gale_
