Oh captain, captain, hmm, ooo, my captain so mean[x2]
Ah, isn't feed me nothing, oh yeah, but soya bean
Oh the cook's alright, oh yeah, but the captain so mean
Hey, the cook's alright, oh yeah, but the captain so mean, I mean so mean
Ah, don't let me drive nothing, but just a old beat up wagon team
Yey, I worked all night, oh yeah boys, and I worked all day, ah, urn, so sad, so sad
Yey, I worked all night, oh yeah boys, and I worked all day
Ah, I couldn't find my mule, oh yeah, fella'd show nowhere
