You seamen bold, who plough the ocean, see dangerous lands [Abm] men never know.
It's not for run or a promotion, no tongue can tell what they [Eb] undergo.
In the blusterous [Ab] wind, in the great dark waters, a ship went drifting on the sea.
[E] Her headgear gone, and her rudder broken, which brought us to extremity.
[Abm] For fourteen days, hearts sore and hungry, seeing but wild water and bitter sky.
Poor [Ab] fellows they stood in a totter, a-casting lots as do which should die.
The lot it fell on Robert Jackson, whose family was so very great.
I'm free to die, but all my comrades [Abm] let me keep lookout till the break of day.
A full-dressed ship, like [N] the sun glittering, came bearing down to their relief.
[E]
As soon as this glad news was shouted, it banished all their care and grief.
[Ab] The ship brought [E] to no longer drifting, safe in St.
Vincent's Cape, what she gained.
You seamen all, who hear my story, pray you'll never suffer the like again.
It's not for run or a promotion, no tongue can tell what they [Eb] undergo.
