Hoodoo Sea
Capt'n Jack ‘ere and dead I be
drowned in the Hoodoo Sea.
Fire lit the sky as we sailed by
not far from Bim’ni.
Dey say ders nothin’ strange out der
off de coast of Bim’ni.
But dey’v naught seen de ‘alf of it
de compass spinnin’ free.
Columbus sawr it too dey say
or so ‘is log records.
A blindin’ light, a fire ball
stunn’d all of de yeo men on board.
Some say it were a meteor
some ‘allucination
Others say it’s a mystery
yarn'd by lower stations.
Dey say ders nothin’ strange out der
Off de coast of Bim’ni
But dey’v naught seen de ‘alf of it
De compass spinnin’ free
Fishermen ‘ere ‘ave der own lore
and say ‘ere monsters be.
Some name the dev’ls triangle
I calls it Hoodoo sea....
*The mystery of the Bermuda Triangle brought to you by Capt'n Jack
