[Intro] [fingerpicked acoustic guitar, melodic electric bass] [Verse 1] [tenor male vocals] Go carefully my dearest When you are on the sea Far in the deep dark ocean There lies your destiny You may bring home the finest catch That we have ever seen But I don't want to lose you To Neptune's company I don't want to lose you To Neptune's company [Verse 2] The calm white ocean calls you The silver herring fly Beneath the waves that look like glass To my land-loving eye But when you're on the ship my love The waves are high as dreams And I don't want to lose you To Neptune's company I don't want to lose you To Neptune's company [Instrumental Solo] [clean electric guitar solo with light overdrive and chorus, steady drum beat enters] [Verse 3] You are your father's son my love Born to the sea like him But like most other sailors dear I know you cannot swim So I pray be cautious Take no chance at sea I don't want to lose you To Neptune's company I don't want to lose you To Neptune's company [Outro] Go carefully my dearest When you are on the sea Far in the deep dark ocean There lies your destiny You may bring home the finest catch That we have ever seen But I don't want to lose you To Neptune's company I don't want to lose you To Neptune's company [acoustic guitar and bass fade out]
