Red sky in the morning
Sailors take warning
The waves are rolling
There’s a storm forming.

Stare down the bow
You’ll hear the sea growl
The thunder is loud
Davy Jones is angry now.

Brave is the captain
Who yells, “Strap down the cannons!
Awake all the men from their cabin!”
Heading into the storm laughing.

For he’s been here before
Sailed to every shore
The rain continues to pour
But to him sailing is no chore.

The storm is all out of might
Darkness turns to light
Leaving a red sky at night
A sailor’s delight.
