Hollies - Let Her Go Down - Текст песни

Sometime in October 
we sailed from England's shore 
When we sailed into a raging storm 
like I never ever seen before 
And all of the crew they were brave men 
but the captain he was braver 
and he said 
Never mind the ship me boys 
There's none of us here can save her 

Let her go down Swim for your lives 
Swim for your children swim for your wives 
Let her go down Let her go down 

Lost in the open ocean 
there was some of the crew and me 
while the captain steered our wounded ship 
to the bottom of an angry sea 
And with his dying breath 
we all heard him say 
It's just the fortune of sailor 
and he said 
Never mind the ship me boys 
There's none of us here can save her 

chorus 

He wondered if his shipmates 
were ready to just pray and give in 
so he called their names out one by one 
but there was no one else around but him 
He saw the ship go down the fading light 
and he knew that they could have saved her 
He said 
The captain lied when the captain cried 
'There's none of us here can save her' 

chorus 

Swim for your lives 
Swim for your children swim for your wives 
Let her go down Let her go down 
Swim for your lives
