Song lyrics
It's raining and storming on the sea, we're miles and miles from shore.
It's raining and storming on the sea, we're miles and miles from shore.
The way the waves is rockin’ this ship, we won't see home no more.

The wind is so strong, turnin’ this old ship 'round and 'round.
This wind is so strong, turnin’ this old ship 'round and 'round.
Something tells me, won't be long before we're sinkin’ down.

The captain say, "Get your life saver, fasten them around your waist."
Captain say, "Get your life saver, and fasten them around your waist."
“Because we're sinkin' down, and the life boat is your safest place."

And we floated all night long in the storm, lost miles and miles from shore.
And the water was freezin’, and the rain began to pour.
I say, "Girls and boys, let's pray, 'cause we won't see home no more."

Uncle Sam's ship was comin’, painted in red, white, and blue.
Uncle Sam's ship was comin’, painted in red, white, and blue.
We say we live in New York City, red and white, blue brought us all the way through.
