The Waves Roll Out Lyrics – Bob Gibson
Singer: Bob Gibson
Title: The Waves Roll Out
(Note: This song was written n strophic form; all stanzas are verses.)
Come on boys, I’ll sing a little song
Of the days when the fish were thick and I was young and strong
We set sail in the morning
In the teeth of a howling wind
And the waves roll out, and the waves roll in
Then late that night, there rose a gale
And it snapped the mast like a stick of wood and it ripped the sail
You should’ve seen the compass whirl
As the ship began to spin
And the waves roll out, and the waves roll in
Then the sea turnеd red and the sky went whitе
And I heard a weird and wailing cry tear through the night
And the sea opened up like a gaping mouth
And pulled us screaming in
And the waves roll out, and the waves roll in
And there I saw on the ocean floor
The sailors drowned and dead for thirty years or more
Their boney skinless toothless jaws
In a ghostly ghastly grin
And the waves roll out, and the waves roll in
Their ghostly eyes burned through the sea
And each one screamed and reached a bony hand for me
Crying, “This is the grave of the sailors damned
To pay for a life of sin.”
And the waves roll out, and the waves roll in
The morning found me on the shore
And none believed I was the man that sailed the day before
My hair was white, my eyes were old, and I was banded thin
And the waves roll out, and the waves roll in
So bully boys, you’ve heard my song
Of the days when the fish were thick and I was young and strong
I’ve told of the curse that waits for you if you hold your life of sin
But the waves roll out, and the waves roll in
The waves roll out, and the waves roll in
