My boat sunk deep A messy hull And where it went The body of a sailor Fell starboard Tripped and splash! Falling beneath to the ocean floor I tried to save you! I tried to save your life! Way down below, you know what it was I tried to save you! I tried to save your life! I threw the rope out with not enough time I saw your eyes through a bubbling cry
Your mother will be terrified! Falling beneath to the ocean floor I tried to save you! I tried to save your life! Way down below, you know what it was I tried to save you! I tried to save your life! I couldn't save you! I couldn't save your life! I couldn't save you! I couldn't save your life! I tried!
