[Verse 1]
DI served as a sailor It was back in G'81 DI can't Dmsay I'm sorry
I volunteered for what I done
GWe trained and we waited WGme would not be ouDmtdone ADmnd then one day six battleships
Came out of the rising sun
SGmo we all manned our stations We passed a jug of wine WDme waited with patience We wAmaited for a sign FirDmst thunder, then lightning Then theGm ringing in my ears I can sDmtill hear that screaming
Even after all of these years [Chorus] Cape Henry, Cape Henry
GBattlefield on Dmfire On water, white water With them Aflames climbing higher We Dmfired our cannon AGt least two hours or Dmore
Cape Henry, Cape Henry
Off of thaAt old Virginia Dmshore
[Verse 2] Our deck was in tatters
ThGmat smoke was thick and black ForDm each shot they fired We Afired two right back And Dmthen I felt my shoulder And thenG something knocked me down Yeah, the Dlast thing I remember WDas that water all around
So, I woke up in Richmond
With a Gmmedal on my chest And I Dmknow that I earned it 'Cause AmI know that I did my best We Dmdid lose that battle But IG heard we'd won the war So, IDm headed back home
And I waited for my reward [Chorus]
Cape GHenry, Cape DmHenry BatGtlefield on Dmfire
On water, white water
With them Aflames climbing higher We Dmfired our cannon AGt least two hours or Dmmore
Cape Henry, Cape Henry
Off of Dthat old VirginiaDm shore
[Verse 3]
I plowed this man's Gfield now From morning until night TDmhat war took my left arm
I'm just a-working with my right
ID guess I fought for the freedom Of some Gricher man up Dmnorth But I sGtill fight for Dmsomething This Dplow goes back and forth
[Chorus]
CDmape Henry, Cape Henry GmBattlefield on Dfire ODmn water, white water With them Aflames climbing Dhigher DmWe fired our cannon At Gleast two hours or Gmmore CDmape Henry, Cape Henry Off of that Dold Virginia shore
Cape Henry, Cape Henry
Off of that Aold Virginia Dshore
