The Terrible Sea

The wind howls mournful & low o’er the hole in his heart
Left a note for his Mother to say he’d be joinin' his Da'
He said «The Devils all pissed 'cause I danced with his daughter
I were born to be hung, so I don’t fear the water
If he wants me he can chase me below the terrible sea.»
There’s a pinch of tobacco tucked into the sleeve of his coat
And a dirty black penny to pay the old man on the boat
He honours the rocks with a cruciform pose
Singin' «my love is like a red, red rose»
In a single explosion he’s gone to the terrible sea
