Ryan Macellaro Whydah Lyrics

you were standing by the ocean

when my tall ship passed by

you were waiting by the ocean when i saw your hand high

say don't leave here stay at sea for too long oh my dear

the grass is waiting for your footsteps

though the longboats are near

you were waiting for a notion to convince me to stay

you were certain my compulsions what decided my fate

but I say dear it's much more than a rogue that I am

im a sailor not a dreamer

one that does what he says

oh I know dear how they hate me

how they say I'm a fool

but they'll see dear they'll respect me

when I come back for you

I will bring dear all I need just to take you away

we will live dear for forever

far away from their hate

please don't weep oh my dear lady

i'll return with the tide

please don't lose sleep while you're waiting

or carress the night sky

I am coming when my voyage

to the north sea is ended

and my ship you may watch for the biggest sails you've ever seen
please don't take thought my dear lady

for my love of the sea

nor the gold ill come bearing

for I sail dear for thee!

there is no dame that is fairer nor a heart that I seek

save for thee

nova scotia i will enter

french canadian land

fair totuga i'll present her

new viginia's white sand

all the waves they wont pull me

to the fate of old Jones

for the sea she will answer

shes is never my foe

i'll relent her

i'll relieve her

i will free slaves of old

i will feed them

i will keep them

far away from the rogues

i will guide her i will teach her

to be kind and be free

but i will leave her i'll deceive her

only for the heart of thee

you were standing by the ocean

when my tall ship passed by

(girl part)

I was waiting by the ocean when I saw your hand high

Oh don't leave here stay at sea for too long oh my dear

the grass is waiting for our footsteps

though the longboats are near
