âSwimminâ Timeâ
G D G
On a clear April day, 1D963
I took a Cmemorable ride on a silver submaGrine
100+ men, John Wesley DHarvey and me
All aCboard the SSN âG 593
Goin Emdown, goin Gdown
Goin Ddown down down Gdown
Harvey to base, weârDe at 1,000 feet
Jimmyâ?C?s doin real good I think heâs getting aholGd of this thing
Then the rattle of pipes, then the Dhiss of the steam
I was the Cman of the hour till the alarm bells started Gringing
Goin Emdown, goin Gdown
Goin Ddown down down Gdown
Oh EmThresher, we canât takGe no more
Slow piroDuette into the arms of the ocean EmflooCr A

Wonder and fear, unDending black sea
Held Ceveryoneâs gaze in quiet hGumility
Mother ocean we are at the Dmercy of thee
Like Cchildren in uniform balancing on your Gknee
Goin Emdown, goin Gdown
Goin Ddown down down Gdown
Oh EmThresher, we canât takGe no more
Slow pirouDette into the arms of the ocean Gfloor
Oh EmThresher, we canât takGe no more
Slow pirouDette into the arms of the ocean EmflooCr A G
