A Mighty Wind movie - Fare Away lyrics

rate me

Song by The New Main Street Singers<br /><br>

Sun breaks over the spritsail yard.<br>

Jib sheet's hauling to leeward hard.<br>

Crosstree's humming a morning hymn.<br>

I'm the cabin boy, call me Jim. (His name's Jim)<br>

<br>

Fare away, fare away under main topsail<br>

To the furbelow of the wily whale.<br>

<br>

Captain's stalking the quarterdeck.<br>

Tells the tail of his first shipwreck.<br>

Castaway with a case of rum.<br>

Hoped that rescue would never come (Never come).<br>

<br>

Fare away, fare away under main topsail<br>

To the furbelow of the wily whale.<br>

To the furbelow of the wily, wily...<br>

<br>

First mate Peter's a hardened man.<br>

Says the captain's a charlatan.<br>

Don't know tackle from futtock plates.<br>

The sailor's sent to the pearly gates.<br>

<br>

Fare away, fare away under main topsail<br>

To the furbelow of the wily whale.<br>

<br>

I been sailing these seven seas<br>

Since I's nigh high to a mermaid's knees.<br>

Come next April I'm sixty-three.<br>

I can't advance! (I like short pants!)<br>

Save in the cabin on the open sea.<br>

<br>

Fare away, fare away under main topsail<br>

To the furbelow of the wily whale.<br>

<br>
