Musical Blades


Homeward Bound from a year at sea
With a fleet of ships in tow
Northward now to my Marie
And boys how the wind dost blow

I’ll tell you how I became this way
twas for the love of a Cape Cod girl
But not allowed by her mothers say
Was Marie to wed a poor sailor

Come home, come home
Sam Bellamy Come home
To leave no more, my heart is yours, she said
Sam Bellamy come home

[Spoken] I left Cape Cod with a skeleton crew
on a trip to the west indies
An honest man in search of treasure & gold
But soon I cursed my luck & the empty seas

So I started home, barren and broke
When a trading vessel I did spy
and swore to Christ I’d not be returning home
as failed man in her eyes


Come home, come home
Sam Bellamy Come home
To leave no more, my heart is yours, she said
Sam Bellamy come home

A year has passed, and fifty attacks
has made me a rich man at sea
so I’m returning home with silver and gold
One more day lads and I’ll be free

So tie off the rigging boys, a storms about to hit
batten down we’re not sailing around
One day till freedom boys, just do what I say
This time tomorrow we’ll be in Cape Cod Bay

Come home, come home
Sam Bellamy Come home
To leave no more, my heart is yours, she said
Sam Bellamy come home

To leave no more, my heart is yours
