Let Her Go Down (2010 Digital Remaster) - Steeleye Span

作曲：Steeleye Span

Sometime in October

We sailed from England's shore

When we sailed into a raging storm

Like I've never ever seen before

All of the crew they were brave men

But the captain he was braver

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

But let her go down let her go down

Lost in the open ocean

There were some of the crew and me

As 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 the fortune of a sailor

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

But let her go down let her go down

He wondered if his shipmates

Are ready just to 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 in the fading light

And he knew he could have saved her

He said the captain lied when the captain cried

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 just let her go down

Let her go down just let her go down
