I sat down By the ocean And the rolling sea I sat down In the sunshine With a bottle of wine
Then I heard A magic sound Echoing around All the sailors Were a-singing Every now and then: "The Waters Run Deep The sea runs high!"
Ship in sight Way out east Rocking all along With a thousand Men at least Joining in the song: "The Waters Runs Deep The sea runs high But we'll all be free The day we die!"
"Somewhere on the sea We all shall die Yes, we'll all be free The day we die!"
Now the ship Sailed away Had no time to stay
But I heard The same old song Every now and then: "The Waters Run Deep The sea runs high But we'll all be free The day we die!"
