Once there sailed the |
|
North Sea |
|
The North |
|
Sea wide and cold |
|
A ship heavily loaded |
|
With the world's most precious gold |
|
The enemy ship was floating |
|
To steal our precious gold |
|
Floating on the |
|
North Sea |
|
Our North |
|
Sea wide and cold |
|
Our youngest comrade, the bravest of us all |
|
Volunteered to sink the boat loaded with gold |
|
He jumped into the |
|
North Sea |
|
Our North |
|
Sea, wide and cold |
|
Our valiant friend, approached the ship's hold |
|
With his fairest knife he gouged out a hole |
|
Down! Down! |
|
And down! |
|
Down went the boat!! |
|
Our valiant friend, approached the ship's hold |
|
With his fairest knife he gouged out a hole |
|
Down! Down went the boat!!! |
|
North Sea! |
|
Swallowed by the waves |
|
North Sea! |
|
They found their seaman's grave! |
|
North Sea! |
|
Swallowed by the waves |
|
North Sea! |
|
They found their seaman's grave! |
|
But not before a hostile archer |
|
Had aimed at our youngest friend |
|
Who got hit in the chest and also down he went |
|
We pulled him onto deck |
|
And on our deck he died |
|
A seaman's grave became his part |
|
The message (delivered) to his bride |
|
Our youngest comrade |
|
In his young pride |
|
Now he embraced the |
|
North Sea |
|
The North |
|
Sea as his bride! |
|
North Sea! |
|
Our comrade young and brave |
|
North Sea! |
|
Down in a seaman's grave |
|
North Sea! |
|
Our comrade young and brave |
|
North Sea! |
|
Down in his seaman's grave |
