Wakefield / Herald / Yeltin

Chorus:
Yes. now I'll swim ashore
Fro I must make it;
Although I'm up to my neck
In high muddy water.

Now the waters are deep and wide
Can't hold out long this way,
I I could spend the time
Perhaps I'd find a way

Chorus

Now I see a distant star
And I hear a restless sound
And somehting seems to say:
"Well, I'm bound for higher ground."

Chorus

Now the sun has risen vain
But I'm safe at last my friend
Deep water was my pain
But now I've reached the end

So now I'll swim ashore,
And I know I'll make it.
Although I'm up to my neck
In high muddy water
