lyrics

Don’t wait behind for me he said, no don’t you stop to think
Just pray we come to land my love, before we start to sink
Yet I’m in no rush to get away before the ship goes down
The first of us to jump is just the last of us to drown

When they find our bones
I hope there’s no next of kin to be told
Ahah, ah ah

The stern had struck a rock that day, we ran aground that night
The captain’s wife made her way overboard and out of sight
I found the captain with the wreck but nothing could be done
He spoke his last on the deck from a father to a son

When they find our bones
I hope there’s no next of kin to be told
When they find our bones
I hope there’s no next of kin to be told
Ahah, ah ah
