Flatt and Scruggs - Take Me in a Lifeboat lyrics

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 Now, come brothers and sisters and don't fall asleep But pray night and day or you'll sink in the deep Fathers and mothers are praying so well Saying 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 The clouds are so heavy, the winds are so loud The thunders are rolling, bursting the clouds They pray to their sinner mates for what they have done They took the dying sinner in their lifeboat
