[Verse]
Upon St. DmCrispin’s Day we made for a Amdistant shore
from the Fharbour mouth of MontegCo
We were Dmpacked to the deck with a rash of AmNelson’s blood
on a FNorthern course where the tradewinds Cblow
Forty Cmnights on the deck of an old WestBb Indiaman
shed Cmlittle light on what IBb know
One Gmday this will Ambe oBbver, this I Fknow
[Verse]
I remDmember you as the girl I Amloved so well
and the Flady of my hearth and Chome
So I must Dmbe the man with a horde of Amtales to tell
and a Fbigger horde of silks and Cgold
Do Cmyou resent me for my Bbroving ways?
Are you Cmstill the lady that IBb know?
One Gmday this will Ambe oBbver, this I Fknow

[Verse]
Ne’er a Dmsabre have I drawn in Amanger
‘nor a Fflintlock have I fired at Call
Though the Dmmidnight watch has yet to Amwear me down
I grow Fweary of the heaven’s Cthrall
I Cmvowed to return one day aBb different man
not the Cmgreen and witless boy youBb know
One Gmday this will Ambe oBbver, this I Fknow

Relief, praise the gods for the still and moment of respite
The thrill of sleeping through the night is E7lost on a Gdrone such as DI

The taste of victory calls, yet a shadow of a feeling lingers on
Yet the blow of whores and devil spawn didn’t E7break my cGonfidence at Dall
