“Up decks, up decks the captain goes, All dressed up in his morning clothes, She says, “Captain, captain, just you stand calm, Until I seek on such a man.”
“It was in St. Taliens this young man died,
“It is in St. Taliens his body lies.”
She says, “Captain, captain, don’t tell me so, For he is alive in your ship below.”
“And if you don’t bring him up to me, I will rage a mighty storm at sea,
It will cause both you and your men to weep, And will leave you slumbering in the deep.”
The Dreadful Ghost: The Captain
This piece is inspired by the old sea song, The Dreadful Ghost
This is the Captain of the ship, to whom the young man fled, after being pursued on land by the spirit of the woman he wronged. Alas, going to see did not stop the ghost.
The Captain and his wheel are mounted to a piece of wood and stand 11 inches high. He was made from wire, clay, fabric and wool.
A small booklet with the lyrics of The Dreaful Ghost will be included with this purchase.
