Oh, the gale is raging and my ship's without a sail Oh, the gale is raging and my ship's without a sail If the wind keeps on a-blowing, I won't be left to tell the tale Oh, the ship is sinking and the lightning struck the mast Now the ship is sinking and the lightning struck the mast And my crew is done deserted, I've got to stick here to the last Oh, I don't mind drowning, but the water is so cold No, I don't mind drowning, but the water is so cold If I must leave this good world, I wanna leave it brave and bold Mama's shipwrecked, shipwrecked, she ain't got no time to lose Mama's shipwrecked, shipwrecked, she ain't got no time to lose Lord, if someone don't save me, I'll go down singing the shipwrecked blues
