"Any Old Port in a Storm" is a popular song composed by Kerry Mills with lyrics by Arthur J. Lamb. Published in 1908, it has been recorded many times. The lyrics as published: [Lamb, "Any Old Port In A Storm."] :"Out on the billows the good ship tossed":"But a brave litle 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.":"But e'en as he gazed, he cried,":"There's land on the starboard side,":"Ship ahoy!— Ship ahoy!":"Chorus:"::"Any old port in a storm lads"::"Whatever that port may be,"::"And thanks be given our Father in Heav'n"::"Who watches o'er you and me,"::"Tho', we're far, far away from the land we seek"::"Where the heart of true love beats warm;"::"For the shelter there, is a haven fair;"::"Any old port in a storm,"::"Any old port in a storm."

:"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!" "Pull away!' he said,":"And the life boat shot o'er the sea.":"He murmered low, "Tis my time to go":"Another port waits for me.":"Then in the embrace of death,":"He sang with his failing breath,":"Ship ahoy!— Ship ahoy!":"(Chorus)"
