"Any Old Port in a Storm" is a popular song composed by Kerry Mills with lyrics by Arthur J. Lamb.
The lyrics as published:[1] Out on the billows the good ship tossed But a brave little craft was she, Tho' the thunder roared, And the torrents pourd, In the pit of the angry sea; And the captain stood on the surf swept deck And he looked o'er the seething foam, He murmered "We're far from the harbor bar And far from the lights of home.
Close to the vessel the lifeboat rocked With its cargo of souls inside, But the captain stood On the sinking deck, "There is no room for me: he cried; "Do not wait my lads!"
he said, And the life boat shot o'er the sea.
He murmered low, "Tis my time to go Another port waits for me."
