Take me in your life boat, oh take me in your life boat!
It will stand a raging storm,
Take me in your lifeboat, oh take me in your life boat!
It will bear my spirits o----n.
Verse 1:
Now come, brothers sisters, and don't fall asleep,
But pray night and day, or you'll sink in the de--ep
Fathers and mothers are praying so loud,
Sayin' "Lord, won't you take us in your li----fe boat."
<---Chorus
Verse 2:
The clouds are so heavy, the winds are so loud,
The thunder rolling, bursting in the clouds--
They prayed to their shipmates for what they had done,
They took the dying sailors in their li--fe boat.
<--Chorus Twice.
