Ghosts of Cape Horn - Gordon Lightfoot Lyrics


All around old Cape Horn

Ships of the line, ships of the morn

Some who wish they'd never been born

They are the ghosts of Cape Horn



Fal deral da riddle de rum

With a rim dim diddy and a rum dum dum

Sailing away at the break of dawn

They are the ghosts of Cape Horn



See them all in sad repair

Demons dance everywhere

Southern gales, tattered sails

And none to tell the tales



Come all of you rustic old sea dogs

Who follow the great Southern Cross

You we're rounding the Horn

In the eye of a storm



When ya lost 'er one day

And you read all your letters

From oceans away

Then you took them to the bottom of the sea



All around old Cape Horn

Ships of the line, ships of the morn

Those who wish they'd never been born

They are the ghosts of Cape Horn



Fal deral da riddle de rum

With a rim dim diddy and a rum dum dum

Sailing away at the break of dawn

They are the ghosts of Cape Horn



Come all you old sea dogs from Devon

Southampton, Penzance and Kinsale

You were caught by the chance

Of a sailor's last dance



It was not meant to be

And ya read all your letters

Cried [Incomprehensible] away

Then ya took them to the bottom of the sea



All around old Cape Horn

Ships of the line, ships of the morn

Some who wish they'd never been born

They are the ghosts of Cape Horn



Fal deral da riddle de rum

With a rim dim diddy and a rum dum dum

Sailing away at the break of dawn

They are the ghosts of Cape Horn
