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

This wind is so strong turnin' this old ship round

And round

Something tells me be long before we're sinkin' down

The captain say 'get your lifesavers fasten them around your waist'

Captain say 'get your lifesavers 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
