Oh the water |
|
Oh the water |
|
Oh the water |
|
So clear |
|
And blue |
|
And free |
|
Thought I heard old |
|
Big leg lula |
|
Callin' me, boys |
|
Singin' come on home |
|
If I can just make it |
|
Through January, February |
|
I'll march on through, boys |
|
I'll march on through |
|
Oh the water |
|
Oh the water |
|
Oh the water |
|
So clear |
|
And blue |
|
And free |
|
I asked the foreman |
|
What time of day was |
|
He was so hard hearted |
|
Just walked away |
|
I asked the judge |
|
What be my fine? |
|
He said: if I don't hang you |
|
I give you ninety-nine' |
|
I give you ninety-nine, boys |
|
I give you ninety-nine |
|
If I don't hang you |
|
Give you ninety-nine |
|
If you wanna |
|
Please your captain |
|
Sink 'em low, boys |
|
Raise 'em high |
|
Sink 'em low, boys |
|
Sink 'em low, boys |
|
Sink 'em low, boys |
|
Raise 'em high |
|
Hail the captain! |
|
Hail his gun! |
|
Hail the chiefman! |
|
And his prodigal son! |
|
I seen him preachin' |
|
And I seen him run |
|
I read his Bible |
|
I don't owe him none |
|
I don't owe him none, boys |
|
I don't owe him none |
|
I'll be a witness |
|
To the rising sun |
|
If you wanna |
|
Please your captain |
|
Sink 'em low, boys |
|
Raise 'em high |
|
Sink 'em low, boys |
|
Sink 'em low, boys |
|
Sink 'em low, boys |
|
Raise 'em high |
|
Oh the water |
|
Oh the water |
|
Oh the water |
|
So clear |
|
And blue |
|
And free |
