Lyrics
In the moonlight - on Mobjack Bay
On the western shore of the Chesapeake
We lost our way
Fear the moonlight; fear the strange
Fear the Ghosts - of Mobjack Bay
Southeast it blew; t'ward the northern shore
Anchor set; we sailed no more
Sails were dropped; time stood still
Our-bones-felt-it-first; an eerie chill
Through windblown clouds, and a pre-dawn rain
Moonlight shone - on Mobjack Bay
Spirits roamed; salt winds moaned
We heard siren songs - of love and home
In the moonlight - on Mobjack Bay
On the western shore of the Chesapeake
We lost our way
Fear the moonlight; fear the strange
Fear the Ghosts - of Mobjack Bay
Our weary crew on an evening tide
From the shore, a ghostly light
Colors called; blue, green, gray
We'd soon see - the ghosts of Mobjack Bay
The Cap'n cried aye, we row ashore
Knowing not, what lay in store
Shadows snarled; hearts grew cold
Those wraiths stole our souls; we breathed no more
Beware this harbor; this western shore
Mobjack Bay - may be your final port
Forever now, we'll haunt this peaceful bay
On the western shore of the Chesapeake
We're still ... Here today
In the moonlight - on Mobjack Bay
On the western shore of the Chesapeake
We lost our way
Fear the moonlight; fear the strange
Fear the Ghosts - of Mobjack Bay
Fear the moonlight - fear the strange
Fear the Ghosts of Mobjack Bay
