Now children, gather 'round, as we lay Sweet William down
To sing him to his final shore
And sing a song for me, and for these men, forever free
To sail without a captain evermore
To sail without a captain evermore
Now when he left this country
He had one thing on his mind
To wipe away the memory
Of everything he left behind
No cost too great to shoulder
No burden too high to bear
I'm going to Fennario
If they have to carry my body there
Now children, gather 'round, as we lay Sweet William down
To sing him to his final shore
And sing a song for m?, and for these men, for?ver free
To sail without a captain evermore
To sail without a captain evermore
Out on the wild blue ocean
In the company of thieves
Every man on this planet
Hopes it knows his name before he leave
Try to leave a big impression
In the mind of every man he meets
I'm going to Fennario
If they have to drag me through the streets
Now children, gather 'round, as we lay Sweet William down
To sing him to his final shore
And sing a song for me, and for these men, forever free
To sail without a captain evermore
To sail without a captain evermore
And sing for the night that lasts forever
And sing for that man who's gone today
Who for his true love's sake left burnt cities in his wake
And killed every good man in his way
They're cutting down the timber
Soon all of this will be a memory
But there'll just be an empty cabin
When the wolf comes by for me
Pour out liquor for the captain
Sing around the fire until the dawn
I'm going to Fennario
Let everybody know I'm gone
Now children, gather 'round, as we lay Sweet William down
To sing him to his final shore
And sing a song for me, and for these men, forever free
To sail without a captain evermore
To sail without a captain evermore

The Mountain Goats sono un gruppo musicale folk rock statunitense formatosi nel 1991 a Claremont, California, dal cantautore e polistrumentista John Darnielle. Il nome del gruppo deriva da una canzone di Screamin' Jay Hawkins intitolata "Big Yellow Coat". Per gran parte della sua storia, Darnielle è stato l'unico membro stabile dei The Mountain Goats, collaborando con un variegato gruppo di musicisti in studio e durante i concerti. Tra questi figurano il bassista Peter Hughes, il batterista Jon Wurster, il cantautore Franklin Bruno, la bassista e cantante Rachel Ware, il cantautore John Vanderslice, la chitarrista Kaki King e Annie Clark (St. Vincent). La musica dei The Mountain Goats è caratterizzata da testi introspettivi e poetici, spesso incentrati su temi di amore, perdita, isolamento e spiritualità. Le melodie sono semplici ma efficaci, con un forte accento sul canto di Darnielle, che possiede una voce unica e riconoscibile. Tra i brani più rappresentativi del gruppo si ricordano "This Year", "No Children", "The Best Ever Death Metal Band in Denton" e "Up the Wolves".
