A storm o’er the billows came prancing,

With thunder and flashes of light.

In a ghastly wild glare, by the landing,

A black ship came rushing along;

There a ghost in his shirt-sleeves was standing,

And howling a horrible song.

Chorus.

“Away—along! Away—along!

With trembling, your jaws on the stretch.

Away—along! I sing the song
