Tierra del Fuego Lyrics
CHORUS:
Tierra Del Fuego
Near far south as man may go
Vespucci’s maps are tellin’, near the Straits of Magellan
‘Tis a rocky and a hard land, so far from our land
Tierra Del Fuego
But it’s savage beauty is home to me
Knew a girl in Tierra Del Fuego
Damned if I remember her name
She told me tales of Tierra Del Fuego
Men in longboats, ashore they came
They traded for stores in Tierra Del Fuego
They tickled girls and drank with men
But when they left Tierra Del Fuego
Was when they learned how far they’d been
CHORUS
Where do you go from Tierra Del Fuego
The savages asked, sincere as can be
To our ships in Tierra Del Fuego
They told them, but they just couldn’t see
They’d ne’er seen the likes in Tierra Del Fuego
So their eyes saw nothing but clouds on the sea
Men had come to Tierra Del Fuego
But big wooden ships, those just couldn’t be
CHORUS
Took some tribes of Tierra Del Fuego
Out on boats, and o’er the waves
And when they came back to Tierra Del Fuego
The vessels appeared on the gamboling gray
They saw something in Tierra Del Fuego
Speak of it to this day
Sailing ships off of Tierra Del Fuego
Came from the clouds, and just sailed away
CHORUS
