Even giants don't live forever
And when their work is done, and they move on
It's a mighty sad time
The greatest giant among the sea captains of the gulf ports was a man named Stormalong
Those who knew him and loved him called him Stormy

Stormy's gone
That good, old man
To me way, Stormalong!
It's a long, long journey home

We'll lower him down
With a silver chain
To me way, Stormalong!
It's a long, long journey home

And the ways that row
And the winds that blow
Will carry him over the sea
To a place I know
Where the best of sailors go
That's where our captain will be

We'll pipe all hands
For a last farewell
To me way, Stormalong!
It's a long, long journey
Roll along, it's a long, long journey home
Stormy's gone
That good, old man!
