以下是船長的英文歌詞：
Oh, captain, captain, where you leading me?
Through the stormy sea, with no land in sight
Oh captain, captain, please don't let me down
In this raging sea, I'm all alone
Chorus:
Oh captain, my captain
You're the only one who understands me
Through the stormy sea, you're my guiding light
Oh captain, don't let me die
We're drifting through the ocean
With no hope of rescue
But you never lost control
You're my saving grace
Chorus:
Oh captain, my captain
You're the only one who understands me
Through the stormy sea, you're my guiding light
Oh captain, don't let me die
Bridge:
I'm relying on you, captain
To bring me safely to shore
Through the storms and dangers
You're my only hope
Chorus:
Oh captain, my captain
You're the only one who understands me
Oh captain, I'm so weary
Please don't let me die, oh captain, please
Outro:
Oh captain, I'm so grateful
For the life you've given me
Through the stormy sea, you're my guardian angel
Oh captain, I love you.
