The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Take Me In Your Lifeboat lyrics

Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat It will stand the ragin' storm Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat It will bear the spirit home Come on, brothers and sisters, and don't fall asleep Pray night and day or you'll sleep in the deep Now fathers and mothers are prayin' so loud Said : ‘Lord, won't you take us in your lifeboat ?' Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat It will stand the ragin' storm Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat It will bear the spirit home Clouds are so heavy, the winds are so loud Thunder is rolling beckoning the crowd They pray for the shipmates for what they have done They took the dyin' sailor in their lifeboat Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat It will stand the ragin' storm Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat It will bear the spirit home Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat It will stand the ragin' storm Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat It will bear the spirit home
