[Verse 1] We settled up with Penny and we took a little walk To the ferry that was waiting at the end of the dock We paid our toll to Daniel, who welcomed us aboard He cast off all the lines and we sailed into the fog [Verse 2] The sun had disappeared as we reached Protection Island I swear I saw a Jolly Roger passing just behind We stepped off of the boat and we walked toward the sound But when I turned around, the ferryman was gone [Chorus] Now I probably drank a few too many whiskeys And I know I drank a few too many beers And I should’ve stopped at one When they started pouring rum But I know what I saw at the Dinghy Dock that night [Verse 3] The Dinghy Dock was buzzing as we made our way inside Rocking back and forth as it floated with the tide But when I looked around, there was something out of place A ghastly gang of miners with coal upon their face [Verse 4] And then I saw some sailors playing poker at the bar With a haggard looking pirate who had one too many cards My buddies played some pool with a burly one-eyed man He beat them all with ease, then introduced himself as Dan [Chorus] Now I probably drank a few too many whiskeys And I know I drank a few too many beers And I should’ve stopped at one When they started pouring rum But I know what I saw at the Dinghy Dock that night [Verse 5] Then a pretty girl named Mira took me by the hand She danced me round the bar to a rowdy sounding band She was so light on her feet that she never touched the ground It felt like we were flying as she spun me round and round [Verse 6] The music finished playing as the darkness met the dawn And by the time the sun had risen, everyone was gone It seemed that they had vanished into the thin air The room was filled with silence and a bunch of empty chairs [Chorus] Now I probably drank a few too many whiskeys And I know I drank a few too many beers And I should’ve stopped at one When they started pouring rum But I know what I saw at the Dinghy Dock that night Yah, I know what I saw at the Dinghy Dock that night
