Oh Captain

Captain, captain, captain

I'm gonna throw the landin' line

'Cause the first mate keeps me workin'

All the time

All the time

Captain, captain, captain

Let me see your rollers roll

I don't like the way the firemen

Are shovelin' coal

Are shovelin' coal

Johnny, Johnny, Johnny

Let your ball of water flow

In the morning they're making Bayou

Sara shore

Sara shore

The boat is steady rollin'

But she ain't a-rollin' right

'Cause Johnny boy the fireman

Sleeps the night

Sleeps the night

Oh, captain, captain, captain

Better let me go below

If you don't I ain't gonna ship with

You no more

You no more, mhmm
