Captain, Captain Lyrics

Captain, Captain, tell me true
Does my sweet w**** sail with you?
No my dear, he is not here
For he is drowned in this ocean dear
Answer me, you'll give me joy
For I love my soldier boy
Oh no lady, he's not here
Dropped down dead in the gulf my dear
Get me a chair to sit upon
A pen and ink I will write it down
On every line I'll shed a tear
In every verse, cry oh my dear

Captain, Captain, build me a boat
Out on these waters I must float
Searching for my w**** dear
For he has drowned in this ocean dear
