Am _ Well it'sAm 4 o'_clock in theC after_noon, theG anchors _have beenG weighed__ G __
From AmMiami _ to GNassau _ she's Ambound ac_ross the Amwaves _ Am _ 
She's a-Amheadin' s_outh through CBiscayne B_ay, inGto the o_pen Gsea _ G 
The Y_armouth AmCastle's, s_he's a-Gdying and d_on't know Amit! _ Am _ Am _ Am _ 
There were Ammany y_ears she's Cbeen to s_ea, she's Gseen the b_etter timesG _ G _ 
She Amgives a g_roan of Gprotest a_s they Amcast away _ her linesAm _ Am _ 
And the Amgrumble o_f her Cengines a_nd the Grust al_ong her Gspine _ G 
T_ells the AmCastle s_he's too Gold t_o be Amsailing _ Am _ Am _ Am _ 
But the Amsands run out wiCthin her heart, a Gtiny spark glows Gred___ G _ 
Am Smoulders through theG evening asAm laughter oveAmrhead_ Am _ 
Now when Amdinner's served and the Ccards are dealt and the Gdrinks are passed aGround _ G _ 
Am Deep within, theG fire starts aAm-burning_ Am _ Am _ Am _ 
Now it's Ammidnight on the Copen sea, the Gmoon is shining Gbright _ G _ 
Some Ampeople join the Gparty and Amothers say goodAmnight _ Am _ 
There's Ammany who are Csleeping now, it's Gbeen a busy Gday _ G 
A_nd the Amtiny whisp of Gsmoke is a-Amrisin'_ Am _ Am _ Am _ 
"Oh Amlord," she groans, "I'm Cburnin', let Gsomeone underGstand!"___ G _ 
But her Amsilent plea is Gwasted in the Amplayin' of the Amband!_ Am _ 
EveryAmbody's dancin' Con the deck and they're a-Ghavin' such a Gtime _ G _ 
And a Amvoice says, "Shut Gup and deal, I'm Amlosin'" _ Am _ Am _ Am _ 
Deep Amwithin the Yarmouth CCastle the Gfire begins to Gglow___ G _ 
It Amleaps into the Ghallways and Amclimbs and twists and Amgrows! _ Am _ 
And the Ampaint she wore to Ckeep her young, oh GLord, how well it Gburns!_ G 
And Amsoon that ol'Gfire is Amragin'_ Am _ Am _ Am _ 
Now beAmneath the bridge it's Cclimbing fast, the Gcaptain stands aGloft _ G _ 
He Amcalls up to the Gbos'un, says, "AmBos'un, we are Amlost!"_ Am _ 
For the Amragged hoses Cin the racks, no Gpressure do they Ghold _ G 
The Ampeople down beGlow will soon be Amdyin' _ Am _ Am _ Am _ 
All Amamidship's, oh she's a-Cblazin' now, it's Gspreadin' fore and Gaft!_ G _ 
The Ampeople are a-Gscramblin' as the Amfire blocks the Ampath _ Am _ 
The Amevil smoke surCrounds them and they're Gfallin' in their Gtracks _ G _ 
And the Amcaptain in his Glifeboat is a-Amleavin'_ Am _ Am _ Am _ 
b5,2|C_G_|Am_G_|Am_Am_|Am_Am_|Am_Am_|
Oh Amthen the ship BaChama Star, comes Gsteamin' through the Gnight _ G _ 
She Amsees the Castle Gblazin' and 'tis Ama terrible Amsight _ Am _ 
"AmJump down, jump down," the Ccaptain cries, "we'll Gsave you if we Gcan!"_ G _ 
And the Ampaint on his Gfunnels is a-Amfryin'_ Am _ Am _ Am _ 
God Amhelp the ones who Csleep below and Gcannot find the Gway _ G _ 
Thank AmGod for those we Grescued uAmpon this awful Amday! _ Am _ 
Now the Amheroes they are Cmany but the Gtimes are goin' Gslim _ G _ 
And Amnow from stern to Gbow she's a-Amblazin'_ Am _ Am _ Am _ 
Oh the AmYarmouth Castle's Cmoanin', she's Gcryin' like a Gchild _ G _ 
You can Amhear her if you Glisten aAmbove the roar so Amwild _ Am _ 
Is she Amcryin' for the Cones who lie Gwithin her molten Gsides _ G _ 
Or Amcryin' for Gherself I'm a-Amwonderin'?_ Am _ Am _ Am _ 
But the Amliving soon were Crescued, the Gones who lived to Gtell _ G _ 
Am From the Star they aG-watched her as sheAm died there in theAm swells_ Am _ 
Like a Amtoy ship on a Cmill pond she Gburned all through the Gnight _ G _ 
Then Amslipped beneath the Gwaves in the Ammornin' _ Am _ Am _ Am _
