Live Saver Blues lyrics

It`s raining and storming on the sea,
We`re miles and miles from shore.
It`s raining and storming on the sea,
We`re miles and miles from shore.
The way the waves is rockin this ship,
We won`t see home no more.

The wind is so strong,
Turnin this old ship round and round.
This wind is so strong,
Turnin this old ship round and round.
Something tells me,
Won`t be long before we`re sinkin down.

The captain say, `Get your lifesavers,`
`Fasten them around your waiste.`
Captain say, `Get your lifesavers,`
`And fasten them around your waiste.`
Because we`re sinkin down,
And the lifeboat is your safest place.

And we floated all night long in the storm,
Lost miles and miles from shore.
And the water was freezin,
And the rain begin to pour.
I say, `Girls and boys, let`s pray,`
`Cause we won`t see home no more.`

Uncle Sam`s ship was comin,
Painted in red, white and blue.
Uncle Sam`s ship was comin,
Painted in red, white and blue.
We said, `We live in New York City,`
Red and white, blue brought us all the way through.
