The Captain's Farewell by Willoughby Caught
We bid farewell to our captain beloved
he's gone aloft for his voyage is through
and onward we sail better for his commanding
Captain, my Captain, how we miss you
I remember the day that I stood there before him
to show him the skill I had learned by his side
Oh, save me, oh God, I am in the deep water
nothing is missed by the Captain's sharp eyes
He had his ways for he was a sailor
with a love of tall ships, and a love of the sea
So patient with others what would be a sailor
a friend to us all and a mentor to me
He abides in love, and he's off a sailin'
In waters so distant our captain now strays
As we go on, we will cherish his memory
knowing he’ll look over us for that was his way.
