♪♫ 'All hands on deck, we've run afloat!' I heard the captain cry
'Explore the ship, replace the cook; let no one leave alive!'
Across the straits, around the Horn; how far can sailors fly?
A twisted path, our tortured course, and no one left alive

We sailed for parts unknown to man, where ships come home to die
No lofty peak, nor fortress bold, could match our captain's eye
Upon the seventh seasick day we made our port of call
A sand so white, and sea so blue, no mortal place at all

We fired the gun, and burnt the mast, and rowed from ship to shore
The captain cried, we sailors wept; our tears were tears of joy
Now many moons and many Junes have passed since we made land
A salty dog, this seaman's log; your witness my own hand ♪♫

You can listen to the song in Progarchives.

Thanks for the pointer 'rocker'. I had a look and found some great 'live' performances of the song, but sadly still no studio cut available th@ I could find ;-j

[davidswubc]

thank you for posting lyrics. you need to reupload as the audio is missing.

[ELGROOVER]

The audio is missing because it has been 'muted'. Copyright control jumped on it straight away :·(

I've said it before and I'll say it again, these companies are losing more potential sales than they think they gain by exercising their copyright rights in this way.

@ least UMG seem to think so, which is good. They don't make a fuss ☺

A pox and eternal damnation to the copyright claim blocker.

[GoodbyeSobriety]

A copy right claim on this? I know how copy right works, and all, but c'mon. As if people are just clamoring to get this album. Kids don't even know about this shit nowa days! *shakes fist*

@ELGROOVER - I found the studio version of Salty Dog posted by razevids, with video from The Bounty, I think it is. I have the album and can listen anytime, but I wanted to have it in one of my playlists. I don't know about others, but I am buying a lot of DVDs based on what I see here on You Tube. I don't think these companies can get this kind of exposure any other way, and I wish they'd realize that . By the way, I SO love this song.
