The Black water sat still
The sky turned yellow
The wind picked up
And the storm was coming
Oh the mast fell to the water
My darling wailed, she screamed
How the water turned red with the blood she shed
During the storm that eve
Oh we were pulled, we were pulled to the cold black water
That night me and my baby lost our brothers to the water
Oh the waves how they crept, they crept from the water
My honey and me were lost in the water
