[Verse 1]
When I was just a lad of twelve, I joined a skipper's crew
To sail about the ocean wide, in search of treasures new
But failed to batten down a hatch, I let in scores of water
And that's when bo's'n introduced me to the captain's daughter
[Chorus]
Oh! The captain's daughter, she's a sight!
She'll keep you up in the dead of night
She'll make you weep 'till your eyes turn sore
Like many other men before
[Verse 2]
The captain was an older man, not known for giving tack
He'd bring his daughter out for any ordinary Jack
She'll make your skin shift colours faster than a signal flag
So don't be caught adrift and let that cat out of the bag
[Chorus]
Oh! The captain's daughter, she's a sight!
She'll keep you up in the dead of night
She'll make you weep 'till your eyes turn sore
Like many other men before
[Verse 3]
Well, out across the pond one day we heard the crow's nest call
And down the mast came crashing, being struck by cannonball
The captain stood there laughing, bid us stand to our last breath
But we'd rather face his daughter than a terrifying death
When I was just a lad of twelve, I joined a skipper's crew

Oh! The captain's daughter, she's a sight!

She'll make you weep 'till your eyes turn sore
