[00:00.000] 作词 : Stan Rogers [00:00.000] 作曲 : Stan Rogers [00:00.000]作曲: Stan Rogers [00:01.000]作词: Stan Rogers [00:08.906] [00:08.906] [00:10.906]Now it's just my luck to have the watch, with nothing left to do [00:16.810]But watch the deadly waters glide as we roll north to the 'Soo' [00:22.217]And wonder when they'll turn again and pitch us to the rail [00:27.903]And whirl off one more youngster in the gale [00:31.980] [00:31.980] [00:33.380]The kid was so damned eager. It was all so big and new [00:39.218]You never had to tell him twice, or find him work to do [00:44.400]And evenings on the mess deck he was always first to sing [00:50.068]And show us pictures of the girl he'd wed in spring [00:54.286] [00:54.286] [00:55.693]But I told that kid a hundred times "Don't take the Lakes for granted [01:01.548]They go from calm to a hundred knots so fast they seem enchanted." [01:06.934]But tonight some red-eyed Wiarton girl lies staring at the wall [01:12.860]And her lover's gone into a white squall [01:24.702] [01:24.702] [01:26.740]Now it's a thing that us oldtimers know. In a sultry summer calm [01:32.756]There comes a blow from nowhere, and it goes off like a bomb [01:37.920]And a fifteen thousand tonner can be thrown upon her beam [01:43.719]While the gale takes all before it with a scream [01:48.291] [01:48.291] [01:49.466]The kid was on the hatches, lying staring at the sky [01:55.308]From where I stood I swear I could see tears fall from his eyes [02:00.899]So I hadn't the heart to tell him that he should be on a line [02:06.846]Even on a night so warm and fine [02:12.027] [02:12.027] [02:12.027]But I told that kid a hundred times "Don't take the Lakes for granted [02:17.826]They go from calm to a hundred knots so fast they seem enchanted." [02:23.395]But tonight some red-eyed Wiarton girl lies staring at the wall [02:29.163]And her lover's gone into a white squall [02:40.986] [02:40.986] [02:42.986]When it struck, he sat up with a start; I roared to him, "Get down!" [02:48.703]But for all that he could hear, I could as well not made a sound [02:54.119]So, I clung there to the stanchions, and I felt my face go pale [02:59.992]As he crawled hand over hand along the rail [03:05.247] [03:05.247] [03:05.247]I could feel her keeling over with the fury of the blow [03:11.420]I watched the rail go under then, so terrible and slow [03:16.406]Then, like some great dog she shook herself and roared upright again [03:22.414]Far overside. I heard him call my name [03:26.578] [03:26.578] [03:28.078]But I told that kid a hundred times "Don't take the Lakes for granted [03:33.795]They go from calm to a hundred knots so fast they seem enchanted." [03:39.233]But tonight some red-eyed Wiarton girl lies staring at the wall [03:45.262]And her lover's gone into a white squall [03:56.944] [03:56.944] [03:59.212]So it's just my luck to have the watch, with nothing left to do [04:05.355]But watch the deadly waters glide as we roll north to the 'Soo' [04:11.250]And wonder when they'll turn again and pitch us to the rail [04:16.923]And whirl off one more youngster in the gale [04:22.026] [04:22.026] [04:22.026]And I tell these kids a hundred times "Don't take the Lakes for granted [04:27.951]They go from calm to a hundred knots so fast they seem enchanted." [04:33.663]But tonight some red-eyed Wiarton girl lies staring at the wall [04:40.799]And her lover's gone into a white squall
