Take me in your lifeboat
Come brothers, sisters, don't fall asleep Pray night and day, or you'll sink in the deep Fathers and mothers are crying so loud Saying, Lord, won't you take us in your lifeboat Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat It will stand the raging storm Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat It will bear my spirit home The clouds are so heavy, the winds are so loud The thunder is falling, bursting in the clouds They pray to their shipmates for what they have done They took the dying sinners in the lifeboat * Refrain
