[00:00.44]The Scorpion Departs, But Never Returns (Album Version) - Phil Ochs
[00:03.85]Sailors climb the tree,
[00:05.84]
[00:07.29]up the terrible tree
[00:09.83]
[00:11.32]Where are my shipmates have they sunk beneath the sea?
[00:16.00]
[00:17.87]I do not know much, but I know this cannot be
[00:23.39]It isn't really, it isn't really,
[00:26.90]tell me it isn't really
[00:28.25]
[00:31.08]Sounding bell is diving down the water green
[00:36.38]
[00:37.21]Not a trace, not a toothbrush, not a cigarette was seen
[00:42.68]
[00:44.68]Bubble ball is rising from a whisper or a scream
[00:50.21]But I'm not screaming, no,
[00:52.35]I'm not screaming,
[00:53.63]tell me I'm not screaming
[00:56.73]
[00:57.95]Captain will not say, how long we must remain
[01:04.30]The phantom ship forever sail the sea
[01:08.74]
[01:09.27]It's all the same
[01:13.31]
[01:15.21]Captain, my dear Captain we're staying down so long
[01:21.17]I have been a good man, I've done nobody wrong
[01:27.40]
[01:29.11]Have we left our ladies for the lyrics of a song?
[01:34.51]That I'm not singing, I'm not singing, tell me I'm not singing
[01:40.43]
[01:44.09]The schooner ship is sliding across the kitchen sink
[01:49.58]
[01:50.25]My son and my daughter they won't know what to think
[01:57.09]
[01:57.72]The crew has turned to voting and the officers to drink
[02:02.75]
[02:03.32]But I'm not drinking,
[02:04.68]
[02:05.46]no I'm not drinking, tell me I'm not drinking
[02:09.47]
[02:11.17]Captain will not say,
[02:13.50]how long we must remain
[02:17.67]The phantom ship forever sail the sea
[02:22.80]It's all the same
[02:27.30]
[02:28.62]The radio is begging them to come back to the shore
[02:35.51]
[02:36.60]All will be forgiven, it'll be just like before
[02:41.28]
[02:43.14]All you've ever wanted will be waiting by your door
[02:48.15]We will forgive you, we will forgive you,
[02:51.97]tell me we will forgive you
[02:55.33]
[02:56.23]But no one gives an answer not even one goodbye
[03:02.17]
[03:02.81]Oh, the silence of their sinking is all that they reply
[03:09.93]
[03:10.51]Some have chosen to decay and other chose to die
[03:15.98]But I'm not dying,
[03:18.11]no I'm not dying, tell me I'm not dying
[03:22.11]
[03:24.25]Captain will not say, how long we must remain
[03:29.46]
[03:30.64]The phantom ship forever sail the sea
[03:35.89]It's all the same
[03:38.97]
