Bluegrass Songs - Take me in your lifeboat

Take me in your lifeboat

Come brothers, sisters, don't fall asleep
Pray night and day, or you'll sink in the deep
Fathers and mothers are crying so loud
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 thunder is falling, bursting in the clouds
They pray to their shipmates for what they have done
They took the dying sinners in the lifeboat
