good hope (farewell) - hello softie. lyrics
one of the seven who crew the belinda, am i
plus a boy of twelve, the captain’s son michael
on due course for calicut in twenty days’ time
with empty barrels promised spice
we made good time to walvis bay
and docked the good ship on the far port
singing and merrymake in the tavern
little more than a shack on the shorefront
the womenfolk are short more t**th than i
the men applaud as michael chokes down his first pint
as we crеwmen retire to our post
and thе captain and his boy to theirs
we think not of the morning sea
with its fins and t**th
but of the earth beneath us
“batten the hatches, she’s taking on water!”
“she’s dipping port side! don’t let up!”
“reef the mainsail!”
i kept the boy afloat until he went cold
i hear belinda’s cry as she sinks slow
only i will ever know
