Life Saver Blues

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 life saver fasten them around your waist "

Captain say "Get your life saver and fasten them around your waist "

"Because we're sinkin' down and the life boat 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 began 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 say we live in New York City red and white blue brought us all the way through
