The skipper had a stiff one, filled a flask for the road Glanced out at the sunset alighting on the shore Took him back to the Suez and the Gulf of Mexico Sailed through the memories from a lifetime before So he took to the channel with a crew of three Kapitän was a lifer, known to go by feel She was big and muscly, along the Reiherstieg He hadn't seen her coming, she was full of gasoline Sing... of the Elbe's soul, across her rugged skin How a sailor's heart can't be reeled in And one fine day that ship be gone again A fortnight later they called him in Superintendant said Reiner, won't be warning you again Carrying his new orders, held his chin up high Back in his quarters, he hung his head to cry Couldn't sleep for the nightmares, everything was out of place Couldn't get out on the water, feel the wind on his face Dozing off in retraining he heard his grandad cuss Son, this world is a changing... gotta do what you must Sing... of the Elbe's soul, across her rugged skin How a sailor's heart can't be reeled in And one fine day that ship be gone again The moon was on the water, night shift had gone home Slipped the rope from the capstan, let her out into the flow Cap'n stared into the darkness with eyes black as coal Drifted under the searchlights and killed the radio... Sing... of the Elbe's soul, across her rugged skin How a sailor's heart can't be reeled in And one fine day that ship be gone... Sing... of the Elbe's soul, across her rugged skin How a sailor's heart can't be reeled in And one fine day that ship be gone again
