Life Saver Blues Lyrics
Life Saver Blues - Lonnie Johnson
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 waist
Captain say
Get your lifesavers
And fasten them around your waist
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
