Sinking Ship - Eugene Kelly

She was the sinking ship that dragged me down

I was well equipped I wouldn’t drown

At the journey’s end we would no longer be

Time and tide don’t bury me

I gave her all that I could find

A love we could discover

She turned her back and walked a mile

I gave it to another lover

On the sinking ship that dragged me down

I nailed my trust to the bow

No land around that I can see

Time and tide don’t bury me

Oh Lord I’m overboard

I’m overboard

Oh Lord I will not drown

I will not drown

I gave her all that I could find

A love we could discover

She turned her back and walked a mile

I gave it to another lover

I didn’t love her
