Captain Key Sailed the windy sea He knew his ship from stern to tip And named her the Annalee The strong young crew Each one loyal and true They loved to glide on the oceans wide Nantucket to Tuvalu But a storm came wide and high It swallowed the western sky Never before had the wind blown more And waves did terrify It swirled around like a thousand snakes With lighting flash and thunder shakes Blotted out the sun as it grew Struck fear in the hearts of the stout young crew Captain, Captain What can we do? It's a monster storm churning black and blue We'll be thrown to the bottom, we'll never get through Captain, Captain what can we do? Said Captain Key Young sailors listen to me We'll dance with the wind Like our own best friend We'll roll atop the waves We'll trim our sails To caress the gales Keep your heads clear and be brave Keep your heads clear and be brave Up the masts tie the jib down fast Let every sail unfurl Fasten the lot with a bowline knot I'll give the wheel a mighty whirl Every sail was tight, cut just right Every knot a perfect hitch But the storm didn't tire and waves swelled higher And the Annalee started to pitch Then a cheer rang high and the first mate cried "Look off the starboard bow! We're up in the sky, Captain's made us fly We've pulled along side a cloud!" Captain Key We've saved the Annalee Sailing this way we'll be home in a day With our friends and families Cause we danced with the wind Like our own best friend We rode atop the waves We trimmed our sails To caress the gales Our heads were clear and heart were brave Our heads were clear and heart were brave Our heads were clear and heart we were brave
