Lyrics
(Verse 1) Oh, gather 'round ye sailors bold, Heave away, haul away! A tale of yore, in nights of old, The ghost ship haunts the bay.
(Chorus) Hoist the sails and sing the tune, For the ghost ship sails beneath the moon. With a wail and a whisper, she calls us home, To the depths of the sea where shadows roam.
(Verse 2) Her captain's eyes, like stars they gleam, Heave away, haul away! His crew are bound by an endless dream, Forever in the spray.
(Chorus) Hoist the sails and sing the tune, For the ghost ship sails beneath the moon. With a wail and a whisper, she calls us home, To the depths of the sea where shadows roam.
(Verse 3) From ports afar to the stormy seas, Heave away, haul away! The ghost ship comes on the midnight breeze, Her passage lights the way.
(Chorus) Hoist the sails and sing the tune, For the ghost ship sails beneath the moon. With a wail and a whisper, she calls us home, To the depths of the sea where shadows roam.
(Bridge) With silver sails and a hull of mist, Heave away, haul away! The cursed crew and the maiden kissed, By the salt and brine, they stay.
(Chorus) Hoist the sails and sing the tune, For the ghost ship sails beneath the moon. With a wail and a whisper, she calls us home, To the depths of the sea where shadows roam.
(Verse 4) In the darkest nights when the winds do howl, Heave away, haul away! Beware the call of the phantom's growl, And the ghost ship in the bay.
(Chorus) Hoist the sails and sing the tune, For the ghost ship sails beneath the moon. With a wail and a whisper, she calls us home, To the depths of the sea where shadows roam.
(Outro) So heed the tale, ye sailors bold, Heave away, haul away! For the ghost ship's call is icy cold, And in her wake, we lay.
(Chorus) Hoist the sails and sing the tune, For the ghost ship sails beneath the moon. With a wail and a whisper, she calls us home, To the depths of the sea where shadows roam.
