A Sailor's Life |
| Lie down, lie, sailors cry |
| When God’s on the water |
| Pity those in his angry eye |
| Little lambs for slaughter |
| You’ll get by, you’ll set sail |
| You’ll bring wonders to you |
| Let no strange scribbler write your tale |
| Lest he say he knew you |
| Rocks and shoals and maelstrom holes |
| Plague the sailor’s weary souls |
| Storm and gale, a shredded sail |
| Pray the captain doesn’t fail |
| Lie down, lie, sailors cry |
| Helpless sailors stranded |
| Lie down, lie, they will surely die |
| Long before they’ve landed |
| Rocks and shoals, maelstrom holes |
| Plague the sailor’s weary souls |
| Storm and gale, shredded sail |
| Pray the captain doesn’t fail |
| Lie down, lie, sailors cry |
| When God’s on the water |
| Pity those in his angry eye |
| Little lambs for slaughter |
