Cape Of Good Hope (好望角) - The Trammps[00:00:00]
I'm going to the place[00:00:22]
Where the gods fight wars[00:00:24]
Where the angels sit in silence[00:00:26]
While the demons roar[00:00:28]
It will take me ten weeks down[00:00:31]
And ten weeks up[00:00:33]
And I'll shake the devils hand[00:00:35]
At the cape of good hope[00:00:36]
The captain was a hard man[00:00:40]
From the town of killy begs[00:00:42]
He had seen two wars[00:00:44]
And lived except for his right leg[00:00:45]
He was trusted and respected[00:00:48]
By all of us onboard[00:00:50]
And he sailed us along[00:00:52]
On the pride of donegal[00:00:54]
I'm drinking today[00:00:58]
'Cause I'm sailing out tomorrow[00:01:00]
Twenty weeks at sea[00:01:02]
Without a drop of irish porter[00:01:04]
I'm drinking today[00:01:06]
So give me bitter by the barrel[00:01:08]
Twenty weeks[00:01:11]
To cape of good hope and home[00:01:11]
The first port of the journey[00:01:18]
Was a dock in tangiers[00:01:20]
Then we went to senegal[00:01:22]
And things went wrong from there[00:01:24]
The best part of the crew laid sick[00:01:27]
Beneath the deck[00:01:29]
With yellow fever[00:01:30]
Scurvey and a touch of gonorrea[00:01:32]
The captain lost his marbles[00:01:36]
And he took the wrong turn[00:01:38]
However he did manage[00:01:40]
That I guess I'll never learn[00:01:42]
The after seven weeks at the open sea[00:01:44]
I saw the shore of trinidad reveal itself to me[00:01:48]
I'm drinking today[00:01:53]
'Cause I'm sailing out tomorrow[00:01:55]
Twenty weeks at sea[00:01:58]
Without a drop of irish porter[00:01:59]
I'm drinking today[00:02:02]
So give me bitter by the barrel[00:02:03]
Twenty weeks[00:02:06]
To cape of good hope and home[00:02:07]
Now I'll never have to see[00:02:32]
Where the gods fight wars[00:02:33]
The angels are singing[00:02:36]
And I'm standing in awe[00:02:38]
The pride of donegal well[00:02:40]
We burned her down[00:02:42]
And I'm never gonna leave my place[00:02:44]
In the sun[00:02:47]
I'm drinking today[00:02:49]
'Cause I'm sailing out tomorrow[00:02:51]
Twenty weeks at sea[00:02:54]
Without a drop of irish porter[00:02:55]
I'm drinking today[00:02:58]
So give me bitter by the barrel[00:02:59]
Twenty weeks[00:03:02]
To cape of good hope and home[00:03:03]
I'm drinking today[00:03:09]
'Cause I'm sailing out tomorrow[00:03:11]
Twenty weeks at sea[00:03:14]
Without a drop of irish porter[00:03:15]
I'm drinking today[00:03:18]
So give me bitter by the barrel[00:03:19]
Twenty weeks[00:03:22]
To cape of good hope and home[00:03:23]
