C G She`s a-headin` south through Biscayne Bay, into the open sea, Am G Am The Yarmouth Castle`s, she`s a-dying and don`t know it! Am C G There were many years she`s been to sea, she`s seen the better times, Am G Am She gives a groan of protest as they cast away her lines. Am C G And the grumble of her engines and the rust along her spine, Am G Am Tells the Castle she`s too old to be sailing. Am C G But the sands run out within her heart, a tiny spark glows red, Am G Am Smoulders through the evening as laughter overhead, Am C Now when dinner`s served and the cards are dealt, & the G drinks are passed around, Am G Am Deep within, the fire starts a-burning. Am C G Now it`s midnight on the open sea, the moon is shining bright, Am G Am Some people join the party and others say goodnight. Am C G There`s many who are sleeping now, it`s been a busy day, Am G Am And the tiny whisp of smoke is a-risin`. Am C G "Oh lord," she groans, "I`m burnin`, let someone understand!" Am G Am But her silent plea is wasted in the playin` of the band! Am C G Everybody`s dancin` on the deck and they`re a-havin` such a time, Am G Am And a voice says, "Shut up and deal, I`m losin`" Am C G Deep within the Yarmouth Castle the fire begins to glow, Am G Am It leaps into the hallways and climbs and twists and grows! Am C G And the paint she wore to keep her young, oh Lord, how well it burns! Am G Am And soon that ol` fire is ragin`. Am C G Now beneath the bridge it`s climbing fast, the captain stands alone Am G Am He calls up to the bos`un, says, "Bos`un, we are lost!" Am C G For the ragged hoses in the racks, no pressure do they hold, Am G Am The people down below will soon be dyin`. Am C G All amidship`s, oh she`s a-blazin` now, it`s spreadin` fore and aft! Am G Am The people are a-scramblin` as the fire blocks the path. Am C G The evil smoke surrounds them and they`re fallin` in their tracks, Am G Am And the captain in his lifeboat is a-leavin`. BREAK: Am / (B) / C/ G / Am / G / Am Am C G Oh then the ship Banana Star, comes steamin` through the night, Am G Am She sees the Castle blazin` and `tis a terrible sight. Am C G "Jump down, jump down," the captain cries, "we`ll save you if we can!" Am G Am And the paint on his funnels is a-fryin`. Am C G God help the ones who sleep below and cannot find the way, Am G Am Thank God for those we rescued upon this awful day! Am C G Now the heroes they are many but the times are goin` slim, Am G Am And now from stern to bow she`s a-blazin`. Am C G Oh the Yarmouth Castle`s moanin`, she`s cryin` like a child, Am G Am You can hear her if you listen above the roar so wild. Am C G Is she cryin` for the ones who lie within her molten sides, Am G Am Or cryin` for herself I`m a-wonderin`? Am C G But the living soon were rescued, the ones who lived to tell, Am G Am From the Star they a-watched her as she died there in the swells. Am C G Like a toy ship on a mill pond she burned all through the night, Am G Am Then slipped beneath the waves in the mornin`.
