Oh Captain, my Captain,
Where went you yesterday?
With comrades two aboard a boat
Did we three sail away.
Your voyage that you three did take
What mission did there be?
To seek a catch of fishes there
Beneath a calm blue sea.
When you returned by mid of day
You brought with you a score?
We'll have to sail another day
And bring back home some more.
We set our course 180 with
Your captain at the wheel.
A school of porpoise off the bow
All looking for a meal.
The summer sun was shining bright;
The weather was the best.
We each returned to our home
To get a little rest.
