| Sometime in October
|
| We sailed from England’s shore
|
| When we sailed into a raging storm
|
| Like I never ever seen before
|
| And all of the crew they were brave men
|
| But the captain he was braver
|
| And he said
|
| «Never mind the ship me boys
|
| There’s none of us here can save her»
|
| Let her go down Swim for your lives
|
| Swim for your children swim for your wives
|
| Let her go down Let her go down
|
| Lost in the open ocean
|
| There was some of the crew and me
|
| While the captain steered our wounded ship
|
| To the bottom of an angry sea
|
| And with his dying breath
|
| We all heard him say
|
| «It's just the fortune of sailor»
|
| And he said
|
| «Never mind the ship me boys
|
| There’s none of us here can save her»
|
| Let her go down Swim for your lives
|
| Swim for your children swim for your wives
|
| Let her go down Let her go down
|
| He wondered if his shipmates
|
| Were ready to just pray and give in
|
| So he called their names out one by one
|
| But there was no one else around but him
|
| He saw the ship go down the fading light
|
| And he knew that they could have saved her
|
| He said
|
| «The captain lied when the captain cried
|
| 'There's none of us here can save her' "
|
| Let her go down Swim for your lives
|
| Swim for your children swim for your wives
|
| Let her go down Let her go down
|
| Swim for your lives
|
| Swim for your children swim for your wives
|
| Let her go down Let her go down
|
| Swim for your lives |
