Waters Are A'risin

歌詞

Oh the waters are a'risin' The waters are a'risin' The waters are a'risin' The old ship's going down Torpedo hit our number two Hatch close to the engine room I heard the bosun yelling They'll shoot the second soon Torpedo in the engine room (Torpedo in the engine room) Torpedo in the engine room The old ship's going down We run out to our lifeboats Scared as mice beside our boats In less than 10 minutes Everyone was tellin' jokes The waters are a'risin' (The waters are a'risin') The waters are a'risin' The old ship's going down I run back for your picture And she was trembling still When I got back they were shooting dice For greenback dollar bills She's a'rockin' and a'reelin' (She's a'rockin' and a'reelin') She's a'rockin' and a'reelin' The old ship's going down She's a'rocking and a'reelin' (She's a'rockin' and a'reelin') She's a'rockin' and a'reelin' The old ship's going down One boy passed his jug around We couldn't strike no lights But the liquor kept my belly warm And fixed my business right Oh, the waters are a'risin' (The waters are a'risin') The waters are a'risin' The old ship's going down The waters are a'risin' (The waters are a'risin') The waters are a'risin' The old ship's going down The waters are a'risin' The old ship's going down
