Eamon

Eamon swallowed anchor and stepped himself ashore
 Set seaboot down on cobblestone he'd never trod before
 A lone fog on the harbour did obscure the rigging lights
 And the terra firma tavern cast a warm and glowing light
 Sing fare thee well
 Calm seas or swell
 Red evening sky
 Home and dry
 ♪
 Eamon went to sea for life the day he turned fourteen
 On a merchant cargo steamer bound for Kwajalein
 By way of Cartagena he wound up in Istanbul
 Nineteen times around the horn would make a Dutchman drool
 Sing fare thee well
 Calm seas or swell
 Red evening sky
 Home and dry
 ♪
 Now Eamon headed inland 'til he could not smell the sea
 Where they'd never seen a boat, that's where he went to be
 And they dressed him in his peacoat, pulled his seaboots on
 Stitched him in his hammock and sent him sailing home
 Sing fare thee well
 Calm seas or swell
 Red evening sky
 Home and dry
 Sing fare thee well
 Calm seas or swell
 Just close your eyes
 Home and dry
