Key: C major•
Verse 1
plow the ocean
See dangers landsmen never
Verse 2
know
in the great dark waters
Our ship went drifting on the sea
Her headgear gone and her rudder broken
which brought us to extremity.
For 14 days heartsore and hungry
Poor fellows they stood in a totter
A- casting lots as to which should die
The lot it fell onto Robert Jackson
whose family was so very great
I am free to die but oh my
comrades
Let me keep look out till the break of day
A full- dressed ship
like the sun a- glittering
Came bearing down into their relief
As soon as this glad news was
shouted
It banished all their care and grief
You seamen all who sail the ocean
Pray you never suffer like again
How did you like the song?
