You seamen bold who plough the ocean
See dangers landsfolk never know.
It's not for honour and promotion;
No tongue can tell what they undergo.
In the blusterous wind in the great dark water
Our ship went drifting on the sea,
Her headgear gone and her rudder broken
Which brought us to extremity.
For fourteen days heartsore and hungry
Seeing but wild water and bitter sky,
Poor fellows they stood in a totter
A-casting lots as to which should die.
The lot it fell onto Robert Jackson
Whose family was so very great
'I'm free to die but oh my comrades
Let me keep look out till the break of day.'
A full-dressed ship like the sun a-glittering
Came bearing down to their relief.
As soon as this glad news was shouted
It banished all their care and grief
The ship brought to, no longer drifting,
Safe in St Vincent, Cape Verde, she gained.
You seamen all who hear my story,
Pray you'll never suffer the like again.
Sung by Mr Harwood of Watersfield, Sussex to George Butterworth in 1907
