Oh come along boys

I'll sing you a song

Of the days when the fish were thick and I

Was young and strong

We set sail in the morning

In the teeth of a howling wind

And the waves roll out

And the waves roll in

And the waves roll out

And the waves roll in

Then late that night

There rose a gale

And it snapped the mast like a stick of wood

And it ripped the sail

You should've seen the compass whirl

As the ship began to spin

And the waves roll out

And the waves roll in

And the waves roll out

And the waves roll in

Then the sea turned red and the sky went white

And I heard a weird and wailing cry tear through the night

And the sea opened up like a gaping mouth

And pulled us screaming in

And the waves roll out

And the waves roll in

And the waves roll out

And the waves roll in

And there I saw on the ocean floor

The sailors drowned and dead for thirty years or more

Their boney skinless toothless jaws

In a ghostly ghastly grin

And the waves roll out

And the waves roll out

And the waves roll in

And the waves roll in

And the waves roll out

And the waves roll out

And the waves roll in

And the waves roll in

And every eye turned toward the shore

And every leg was chained there to the ocean floor

And each cried out for the ones on land

They'd never see again

And the waves roll out

And the waves roll in

And the waves roll out

And the waves roll in

Their ghostly eyes burned through the sea

And each one screamed and reached a bony hand for me

Crying This is the grave of the sailors damned

To pay for a life of sin

And the waves roll out

And the waves roll in

And the waves roll out

And the waves roll in

The morning found me by the shore

And none believed I was the man

Who sailed the day before

My hair was white my eyes were old

And I was bent and thin

And the waves roll out

And the waves roll in

And the waves roll out

And the waves roll in

So bully boys you've heard my song

About the days when the fish were thick and I

Was young and strong

I've told of a curse that waits for you

If you hold to your life of sin

And the waves roll out

And the waves roll in

And the waves roll in
