The Wreck Of The Antoinette Songtext / Lyric

(Spoken)
Full fathom five, on the seabed she lies - the Antoinette.

I sailed with the dawn and the wind belw free
'Cross the bright shining sea
And it filled the sails of my Antoinette.

Good by home and the one I love
Good my faith and the sky and the stars above
Cause there's nothing in this world I wouldn't bet.
On my Antoinette.

She carried their name
And for you I'll try
To be strong or I'll die.
And I'll find my grave
In the rolling wave.

Ride on baby don't you let me down.
Ocean's big and you don't wanna see me drown.
But a bitter rain begins to beat the deck
Of the Antoinette.

See the rain come lashing
There's a sudden flash of lightning on the foam.
Hold on, Antoinette.
The ocean rounds in fury
On a man who fights against it all alone
Keep on, Antoinette.
She goes down with a sigh
And with her is her last cry:
Antoinette! Antoinette!



Dawn breaks on the sea
And the long dark night.
Now his way to the light
And no trace remains of the Antoinette.

Deep she lies on the ocean floor,
Far away from the girl who waits by the shore
Does she know her love is buried in the wreck
Of the Antoinette?
Deep she lies, deep she lies.
Antoinette! Antoinette!
