All around old cape horn<br>Ships of the line, ships of the morn<br>Some who wish they'd never been born<br>They are the ghosts of cape horn<br>Fal deral da riddle de rum<br>With a rim dim diddy<br>And a rum dum dum<br>Sailing away at the break of morn<br>They are the ghosts of cape horn<br><br>See them all in sad repair<br>Demons dance everywhere<br>Southern gales, tattered sails<br>And none to tell the tales<br><br>Come all of you rustic old sea dogs<br>Who follow the great southern cross<br>You we're rounding the horn<br>In the eye of a storm<br>When ya lost 'er one day<br>And you read all yer letters<br>From oceans away<br>Then you took them to the bottom of the sea<br><br>All around old cape horn<br>Ships of the line, ships of the morn<br>Those who wish they'd never been born<br>They are the ghosts of cape horn<br><br>Fal deral da riddle de rum<br>With a rim dim diddy<br>And a rum dum dum<br>Sailing away at the break of morn<br>They are the ghosts of cape horn<br><br>Come all you old sea dogs from devon<br>Southampton, penzance, and kinsale<br>You were caught by the chance<br>Of a sailor's last dance<br>It was not meant to be<br>And ya read all yer letters<br>Cried anchor aweigh<br>Then ya took them to the bottom of the sea<br><br>All around old cape horn<br>Ships of the line, ships of the morn<br>Those who wish they'd never been born<br>They are the ghosts of cape horn<br><br>Fal deral da riddle de rum<br>With a rim dim diddy<br>And a rum dum dum<br>Sailing away at the break of morn<br>They are the ghosts of cape horn
