Lyrics
Down the southern ocean is a lonely place
The storms are many and the shelter's scarce
Down upon the southern ocean sailing
Down below Cape Horn
Over traveled waters and the restless skies
You'll see those mollymauks rise and dive
Down upon the southern ocean sailing
Down below Cape Horn
Why don't you ride the wind and go white seabird
Ride the wind and go mollymauk
Down upon the southern ocean sailing
Down below Cape Horn
Lord, what a lonesome song he sings
Down upon the southern ocean sailing
Down below Cape Horn
He's got no compass and he's got no gear
Nobody knows where the mollymauk steers
Down upon the southern ocean sailing
Down below Cape Horn
Why don't you ride the wind and go white seabird
Ride the wind and go mollymauk
Down upon the southern ocean sailing
Down below Cape Horn
He's the ghost of a sailor so I've heard said
His body 'came sand and his soul flew away
Down upon the southern ocean sailing
Down below Cape Horn
He's got no haven and he's got no home
Bound evermore to wheel and roam
Down upon the southern ocean sailing
Down below Cape Horn
Why don't you ride the wind and go white seabird
Ride the wind and go mollymauk
Down upon the southern ocean sailing
Down below Cape Horn
When I gets too old and I sail no more
Set me adrift far away from shore
Down upon the southern ocean sailing
Down below Cape Horn
You can cast me loose you can set me free
I'll keep that big bird company
Down upon the southern ocean sailing
Down below Cape Horn
Why don't you ride the wind and go white seabird
Ride the wind and go mollymauk
Down upon the southern ocean sailing
Down below Cape Horn
Why don't you ride the wind and go white seabird
Ride the wind and go Mollymauk
Down upon the southern ocean sailing
Down below Cape Horn
