Round the Cape

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well we're goin' round the cape, gold and shores to find 900 miles of wind and waves smashing up the sides We're goin' round the cape, there is no other way For trade, and king, and countrymen, we'll brave the foam and spray [Chorus] So tell my love that I'll be back someday It's rock and roll a-, rock and roll a-, rock and roll away When I return, I swear I'm gonna stay So rock and roll a-, rock and roll a-, rock and roll away [Verse 2] I left my home and land to sail a clipper ship Into the parts of my own map that barely have been writ I must be out my mind to leave England in my wake But I'll get that silver in my ear, we're goin' round the cape [Chorus] So tell my love that I'll be back someday It's rock and roll a-, rock and roll a-, rock and roll away When I return, I swear I'm gonna stay So rock and roll a-, rock and roll a-, rock and roll away [Bridge] It's a long way home, but many miles to go There's a gale that's trying to drag us all below And I long to dream of any better fate But what awaits the brave around the cape? [Verse 3] I heard the sailors say, "By God, you must be mad There's waves as tall as houses and the gales'll knock you flat And when the storm has fled and the fog is thick as mud It's pray for your deliverance and pray you rightly should." [Chorus] So tell my love that I'll be back someday It's rock and roll a-, rock and roll a-, rock and roll away When I return, I swear I'm gonna stay So rock and roll a-, rock and roll a-, rock and roll away So tell my love that I'll be back someday It's rock and roll a-, rock and roll a-, rock and roll away When I return, I swear I'm gonna stay So rock and roll a-, rock and roll a-, rock and roll away Rock and roll a- (Rock and roll a-) Rock and roll away
