Lyrics
Lyrics by John Scunziano - shared with permission. Vocals by Jinx Montague - shared with permission
Their bags are packed... They stand at the rail
Their steel horse... about to hit the trail
The kids and wives... all wave from the pier
When the ship departs them... the loved ones say a prayer
Ten hardy men... they all left their home
To battle the sea... while loved ones sleep alone
Another season... some bend, some break...
Is it worth the money... is it worth the pain... no... oh....
(solo)
The wind and waves ... began to grow
The crew all noticed... their steel horse riding low
No time for rescue... so they pray and wait
They knew that the next wave... would soon seal their fate
(Solo)
So many good men... so many tears
Another widow... another year
Ten hardy men... they're not coming home
They battled the sea... and sank beneath the foam
Another season... another round of pain
The sea was hungry... ten more souls are claimed...
