Song language: English
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 |
