Subject: Lyr Add: Gone, Never Rise Again From: EBarnacle Date: 24 Aug 20 - 09:25 PM I wrote this in 1987 after being inspired by Sy Khan's "Gone, Gonna Rise Again. I presented it today's singaround and appreciated the comments it got. Gone, never rise again May, 1987 Eric P. Russell Melody: Gone, Gonna Rise Again I remember when my boat went down, Gone, never rise again; She went down in Long Island Sound, Gone, never rise again. She was a schooner long past her prime, GNRA; Clean of curve and fine of line, GNRA. She spewed her cotton off Fisher's Isle, GNRA; Caulking came out and the water ran wild, GNRA. Water in the Hold, running round and round, GNRA; Pumps working hard, couldn't keep it down GNRA. The engine ran until it drowned, GNRA; Coast Guard came up as she went down, GNRA. We left her there to die her death, GNRA; She'd served us well and deserved her rest, GNRA. Now, on the bottom she does lie, GNRA; 'Twas a fitting way for a boat to die, GNRA, GNRA, GNRA. |
