Flatt And Scruggs - Take Me in a Lifeboat lyrics

rate me

Take me in your lifeboat, oh

Take me in your lifeboat

It will stand the raging storm

Take me in your lifeboat, oh

Take me in your lifeboat

It will bear my spirit home.

Now come, brothers, sisters, and don't fall asleep

But pray night and day or you'll sink in the deep

Fathers and mothers are cryin' so loud

Sayin' Lord won't you take us in your lifeboat.

The floods are so heavy the winds are so loud

The thunder's a rollin', burstin' the clouds

They pray to their shipmate for what they have done

They took the dyin' savior in their lifeboat.
