Tashmoo and Scarlet (all 3 chords, key of G)
Tashmoo and Scarlet, sailing the seas
On an adventure, just you and me
You take the tiller, I’ll raise the sails
If you turn the pages, I’ll tell you a tale
Sunrise to sunset, dusk until dawn
High tide to low tide, the wind carries on
Travelin’ to places we’ve never known
Havin’ adventures and comin’ back home
(CH)
On a wayfaring cruise, we might make some new friends
And if we are lucky, we’ll see them again
But we’d better get back to rest at the moor
So that tomorrow we can ramble some more
(CH)
Each day we can find a new story to tell
Like seeing the lighthouse or meeting a whale
Who sings his own song, just like we are now
And shows us his tail right off the port bow
(CH)
If we take a long journey, we must prepare
And bring enough sails for light or strong air
Cause you just never know what the sea could bring on
One minute there’s sunshine, in the next it’s all gone
(bridge, first stanza Em///// - Ami/DG//)
Through dangerous waters and turbulent storms
We stick together, and don’t venture alone
Best friends in all weather, if it’s foul or it’s fair
You’ll never be alone ‘cause we’ll always be there
(CH)

When you’re going sailing on a boat
There are some rules to keep afloat
When the Captain orders, you obey
To let him know you hear, just say
(come one, repeat after me!)
Ay, Ay, Captain (call and response, 2x)
Ok! You did great! Now, let’s play a game. Pretend you’re on a big, tall ship – you’re the first mate!!
Every time you hear the Captain give an order, you’ve got to answer so he knows you heard him! Ready?
You know what to do!
If the Captain yells “Anchors Aweigh!”
Ay, Ay, Captain!
Before you pull the anchor you must say,
Ay, Ay, Captain!
If the Captain orders “Shove off, lads!,”
Ay, Ay, Captain!
Before you clear the lines, you have to add
Ay, Ay, Captain!
(CH) Ay, Ay, Captain (call and response, 2x)
Now that’s just great! You’ll be a tip-top sailor in no time flat! Things happen pretty fast on a boat,
though – you’ve got to keep on your toes! Let’s try to speed up a little, shall we? Stand at the ready
sailor! (speed up rhythm)
To trim the sails he’ll say, “Sheet in the Main”
Ay, Ay, Captain!
“Hold Steady,” so you go the same way
Ay, Ay, Captain!
To tack the sails he’ll order, “Helms Alee!”
Ay, Ay, Captain!
And, “Luff the Sails” so that you set them free
Ay, Ay, Captain!
(CH) Ay, Ay, Captain (call and response, 2x)
Uh-oh, the winds have picked up! It’s blowin’ hard at 40 knots – you be quick as a wink!
