A Sky Shanty

Sang to a piccolo tune

Adapted and performed by Artemis Port, for her dear friend Rocky

From Demali’s port, we set to the skies

And sailed nigh 10 days

In the biggest storm I’d ever seen

We almost lost our ways

When a call came from the Captain

Oh, they’ll never put me down!

And we did not fear

For rum was here

To drink until we drown!

HO!

What shall we do with a drunken sailor?

Early in the morning

The eye was atop a harrowing tower,

Sphere guardians blocked us through

We dealt with them handily

And hurried up for a view

When a gust of wind and crackling red

Stopped us in our tracks

But we didn’t back down

Nor did we drown

For the storm we put to rest

HO!

What shall we do with a drunken sailor?

Early in the morning
