Hatteras Jack lyrics

Over in the Carolina where the Atlantic meets the sand There are many legends of the sea and of the land This one's of a porpoise who'd meet the ships that came And guide them into the harbor Hatteras Jack was his name The treacherous inlet waters covered shallow shoals that moved But Hatteras Jack could pilot the biggest schooners through And when the chains would rattle and the anchor splash the blue Old Hatteras Jack'd put on the darndest act for all the craw Hatteras Jack come on back boy Hatteras Jack come on back son Many a sailor's seen him or so the story goes Absolutely wipe a shark out with his nose But after the bells and the buoys and the horns came into use Since the gasoline engine no one's seen that old goose Hatteras Jack come on back boy Hatteras Jack come on back son Come on back Hatteras Jack come on back Hatteras Jack Come on back come on back come on back Hatteras Jack Come on back Hatteras Jack come on back boy come on back Come on back Hatteras Jack come on back Hatteras Jack boy Come on back
