A whole litre down,
With another bottle started,
Drinking for my sorrows,
As I\u2019m 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\u2019t you see I\u2019m blue?
Let me be first mate,
On the starboard crew,
Oh captain,
Please don\u2019t let me stray,
Send me on a boat,
And send me far, far away<\/em>


I\u2019ve been lost now,
For a long, long time,
And the reality of me escaping,
Is increasingly difficult to find,
I\u2019m so lonely,
That all I do now is cry,
I need advice captain,
As I have drunk your bottle dry,
Let\u2019s set sail,
Onwards to the open sea,
Because to be honest,
There\u2019s nothing left here for me,


Chorus:
Oh captain,
Can\u2019t you see I\u2019m blue?
Let me be first mate,
On the starboard crew,
Oh captain,
Please don\u2019t let me stray,
Send me on a boat,
And send me far, far away<\/em>


Send me on a journey,
My personal alcohol chauffeur,
I don\u2019t care anymore,
It\u2019s 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\u2019t you see I\u2019m blue?
Let me be first mate,
On the starboard crew,
Oh captain,
Please don\u2019t let me stray,
Send me on a boat,
And send me far, far away<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
