Mollymauk Lyrics by Kimber’s Men

See You When the Sun Goes Down

2010

[Verse 1: Solo]
Now the southern ocean is a lonely place
The storms are many and the shelter's scarce
[Refrain: All]
Down upon the southern ocean, sailing
Down below Cape Horn
[Verse 2: Solo]
Over troubled waters and the restless skies
You'll see those mollymauks rise and dive
[Refrain: All]
Down upon the southern ocean, sailing
Down below Cape Horn
[Chorus: All]
Won't you ride the wind and go, white seabird
Ride the wind and go, mollymauk
Down upon the southern ocean, sailing
Down below Cape Horn
[Verse 3: Solo]
Now the mollymauk glides on them great, white wings
And lord, what a lonesome song he sings
[Refrain: All]
Down upon the southern ocean, sailing
Down below Cape Horn
[Verse 4: Solo]
He's got no compass and he's got no gear
And nobody knows where the mollymauk steers
[Refrain: All]
Down upon the southern ocean, sailing
Down below Cape Horn
[Chorus: All]
Won't you ride the wind and go, white seabird
Ride the wind and go, mollymauk
Down upon the southern ocean, sailing
Down below Cape Horn
[Verse 5: Solo]
He's the ghost of a sailor, or so I've heard say
His body had sank and his soul flew away
[Refrain: All]
Down upon the southern ocean, sailing
Down below Cape Horn
[Verse 6: Solo]
He's got no haven and he's got no home
Bound evermore to wheel and roam
[Refrain: All]
Down upon the southern ocean, sailing
Down below Cape Horn
[Chorus: All]
Won't you ride the wind and go, white seabird
Ride the wind and go, mollymauk
Down upon the southern ocean, sailing
Down below Cape Horn
[Verse 7: Solo]
When I gets too old and can sail no more
Set me adrift far away from shore
[Refrain: All]
Down upon the southern ocean, sailing
Down below Cape Horn
[Verse 8: Solo]
You can cast me loose, you can set me free
I'll keep that big bird company
[Refrain: All]
Down upon the southern ocean, sailing
Down below Cape Horn
[Chorus: All]
Won't you ride the wind and go, white seabird
Ride the wind and go, mollymauk
Down upon the southern ocean, sailing
Down below Cape Horn
[Chorus: All]
Won't you ride the wind and go, white seabird
Ride the wind and go, mollymauk
Down upon the southern ocean, sailing
Down below Cape Horn
