A whole litre down,
With another bottle started,
Drinking for my sorrows,
As I’m so blue and downhearted,
The dark, sweet nectar,
Gets easier with every sip,
I slowly lose my senses,
And slowly lose grip,
I see a pirate on the front,
And I dream of life at sea,
A long way from you,
A long way from me,


Chorus:
Oh captain,
Can’t you see I’m blue?
Let me be first mate,
On the starboard crew,
Oh captain,
Please don’t let me stray,
Send me on a boat,
And send me far, far away


I’ve been lost now,
For a long, long time,
And the reality of me escaping,
Is increasingly difficult to find,
I’m so lonely,
That all I do now is cry,
I need advice captain,
As I have drunk your bottle dry,
Let’s set sail,
Onwards to the open sea,
Because to be honest,
There’s nothing left here for me,


Chorus:
Oh captain,
Can’t you see I’m blue?
Let me be first mate,
On the starboard crew,
Oh captain,
Please don’t let me stray,
Send me on a boat,
And send me far, far away


Send me on a journey,
My personal alcohol chauffeur,
I don’t care anymore,
It’s all becoming a blur,
Oh captain,
Another bottle I have met,
I cry to your tune
As I see in another sunset,
Maybe only in drunken dreams,
Will you show your appearance and surprise,
And then and only then,
Will I finally see the sunrise,

Chorus:
Oh captain,
Can’t you see I’m blue?
Let me be first mate,
On the starboard crew,
Oh captain,
Please don’t let me stray,
Send me on a boat,
And send me far, far away
