[Verse 1]
We were sailing
In the Atlantic Ocean
Captain shook his head
As the waves kept rolling
And the rain was pouring off
And the matador was dead
[Chorus]
So I will write you if I can
But I can't promise you anything, man
[Verse 2]
We pressed onward
And the captain didn't smile
"You better put on your life jacket" he said
So I listened and
When the tidal wave approached
And the crew was flung the boat
[Chorus]
So I will write you if I can
But I can't promise you anything, man
