VERSE 1

I was out at sea taking on water and listing hard to port
She came in fast, she came in hard I was too tired to abort
I tried to get my sail up quick, I never had the time
She turned my deck to splinters as I drown in wine

`CHORUS 1`

Hurricane Elaine, Yes that was her name
A cruel storm that hit me just myself to blame
Hurricane Elaine, She won't be back again

VERSE 2

She seemed to take forever just to turn into a breeze
She gathered strength around the cape with ease
She scared me like no other though I sailed the seven seas
And the power let her do just what she pleased

`CHORUS 2`

Hurricane Elaine, Yes that was her name
A legend not a legacy remained
Hurricane Elaine, She won't be back again

VERSE 3

For many years I tried to put her memory away
For she robbed me of tomorrow with her yesterday
Now my heart is broken I can never take the wheel
Now that she has gone I don't know how to feel

`CHORUS 3`

Hurricane Elaine, Yes that was her name
And now she does disaster she has found her thing
Hurricane Elaine, She won't be back again
