[Verse 1:]
Saw your first ship sink and drown from rocking of the boat;
and all that could not sink or swim was just left there to float.
I won't leave you driftin' down but whoa it makes me wild,
with thirty years upon my head, to have you call me child.
[:Chorus same chords and lyrics:]
Verse 3 lyrics, same chords as Verse 1:
The bottles stand as empty as they were filled before;
time there was and plenty but from that cup no more.
Though I could not caution all I still might warn a few;
don't lend your hand to raise no flag atop no ship of fools.
[:Chorus to jam or fade:]
