CAPTAIN EAGERHEART
Of all the tarry sailormen
There's none like Captain Eagerheart;
For when the children rise from prayers
He sails a ship right up the stairs
And takes them on the deck in pairs,
To leave the Port of Eiderdown
And sail with him from town to town
Along the coast of Dreamshire.
There's none like Captain Eagerheart;
For when the children rise from prayers
He sails a ship right up the stairs
And takes them on the deck in pairs,
To leave the Port of Eiderdown
And sail with him from town to town
Along the coast of Dreamshire.
Of all the cargoes ever shipped
There's none like Captain Eagerheart's.
Upon his snow-white deck are borne
Sweet eyes as grey as early morn
And curls the colour of the corn,
To stand away from Eiderdown
And sail from splendid town to town
Along the coast of Dreamshire.
There's none like Captain Eagerheart's.
Upon his snow-white deck are borne
Sweet eyes as grey as early morn
And curls the colour of the corn,
To stand away from Eiderdown
And sail from splendid town to town
Along the coast of Dreamshire.
Of all the trusty sailormen
There's none like Captain Eagerheart
For safely bringing home his ship,
With never a shaking of the lip,
However perilous the trip
From Fairy Town to Dragon Town,
From open sea to Eiderdown
Beyond the coast of Dreamshire.
There's none like Captain Eagerheart
For safely bringing home his ship,
With never a shaking of the lip,
However perilous the trip
From Fairy Town to Dragon Town,
From open sea to Eiderdown
Beyond the coast of Dreamshire.
