Elton John/Bernie Taupin Take the wheel I hear the timbers creaking Take the wheel I think this ship is sinking Jamaica seems so far and I`ve been thinking Old Billy Bones has gone to sea and quit his dockside drinking Check it out, check it out, check it out And when I`m dead who`ll fly the White Bird home I`m not the ancient mariner your children know And the sea`s the field these old jack tars have sown `Cause Billy Bones just wants to know who`ll fly the White Bird home Oh your majesty, your majesty I heard the bosun cry Old Billy Bones has washed ashore Upon a foreign tide |
