There is not in the harbour the chaingang's got the guard In the steamin' hot disaster slavery is fighting hard And the rifles scream: no mercy die now or be free In the haze some took a galley in search of liberty Criminals desperate resign Innocent plea for their lives Animals wounded they cry They've got no chance on the galley without aim On the ocean storm is wailing some have gone over board And the captain he is praying: "bless our souls please my Lord" In the morning silent mourning of the ship that knows all plain On the bottom it tells the story of the galley without aim Shadows fall on the harbour's scenery A silent call of a galley moving smooth A dead old ship a sign names it "Liberty" And still remains the memory of the Galley without aim
