C 
Oh, Captain, tell me true
G 
C 
Does my sweet Willie sail with you?
F 
Oh no, he does not sail with me
G 
C 
For he is on the deep blue sea
G 
Oh father, father, fill me a boat
C 
So on the ocean I can float
F 
And every ship that I pass by
G 
C 
I think I hear my Willie cry
Oh gypsy, gypsy, tell me true
G 
C 
Please tell me something I can do
F 
I'll travel o 'er this whole wide world
G 
C 
To keep him from another girl
G 
When o 'er the ocean he has roamed
C 
He will come driftin' back to home
F 
He'll fall into my waiting arms
G 
C 
F 
G 
C 
And I'll be happy with his charm
G 
He told me that he loved me so
C 
But on a voyage he must go
F 
And someday he'd return to me
G 
C 
And then how happy I would be
G 
You told me that you loved me true
C 
You know you said what you would do
F 
You said a letter you would write
G 
C 
That's what I pray for every night
G 
The days are very dark and blue
C 
I sit and dream of only you
F 
And someday you'll return again
G 
C 
So in my heart there'll be no pain
