Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat
It will stand the raging storm
Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat
It will bear my spirit home
Come brothers, sisters, don't fall asleep
Pray night and day, or you'll sleep in the deep
Fathers and mothers are praying so loud
Lord, won't you take us in your lifeboat
Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat
It will stand the raging storm
Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat
It will bear my spirit home
SOLO
The clouds are so heavy, the winds is so loud
The thunder is roaring, beckoning the crowd
They pray to their shipmates for what they have done
They took the dying sailor in their lifeboat
Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat
It will stand the raging storm
Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat
It will bear my spirit home
SOLO
Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat
It will stand the raging storm
Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat
It will bear my spirit home
