Spanish Main Songtext / Lyric

I have a tale of deceit and anger

How love's young hope can twist bitterly

A girl who [Incomprehensible] and her handsome sailor

Their dreams of livin' across the sea



Amelia walked down along the harbor

Her dainty step on the cobbled street

She smiled too sweet at the handsome sailors

Till young guns laid, as she chanced to be



And he fell in love with her so completely

He could think of nothing for weeks to come

And one time held her, so indiscreetly

Her lips they parted in the setting sun



Now, I have to leave on the flagship Lester

For gold and honor I hope to gain

But you have my heart while the sea's in motion

And I am sailin' on the Spanish Main






If you will wait and attend the weather

My own intentions I will make plain

For us to wed and to sail together

And make our home across the Spanish Main



She held his hand like she'd held no other

And she gazed with longin' into his eyes

But her heart held tight to it's own dark secret

Which, if he knew it he would sure despise



For she given her love to her own landlord

In who's cabin she'd hoped to abide

And he'd seen her meet with this handsome sailor

Steal a kiss on the evening tide



And it burned like a fire inside him

And a towering rage now around him grew

He shouted up to the stormy heavens

He vowed he'd find them both and burn them through



He tracked them down where the ship was lying

The cold steel flashed with a glittering pain

Their arms and twines they lay still and dying

Cut short their promise of the Spanish Main
