Life Saver Blues

It's raining and storming on the sea, we're miles and miles from shore
 It's raining and storming on the sea, we're miles and miles from shore
 The way the waves is rockin this ship, we won't see home no more
 The wind is so strong, turnin' this old ship round and round
 This wind is so strong, turnin' this old ship round and round
 Something tells me, won't be long before we're sinkin' down
 The captain say, "Get your lifesavers, fasten them around your waist"
 Captain say, "Get your lifesavers, and fasten them around your waist"
 Because we're sinkin' down, and the lifeboat is your safest place
 And we floated all night long in the storm, lost miles and miles from shore
 And the water was freezin', and the rain begin to pour
 I say, "Girls and boys, let's pray, 'cause we won't see home no more"
 Uncle Sam's ship was comin', painted in red, white and blue
 Uncle Sam's ship was comin', painted in red, white and blue
 We said, "We live in New York City", red and white, blue brought us all the way through
