gargantuan hole in the bow
Will, the ocean to enter, allow
Oh but more a sin than letting it in
Is letting our good fortune out
The nest, to the storm did [bad word] While the crow hid his fear in [bad word] And the mast, it broke and throw out the bloke
And well now he's surely my chum
Love letters from under his bed
Holds the cabin boy over his head
futile try to keep it dry
Where tears are already wet
They were penned by a girl in Merak
And the Javanese value their tact
She'll conclude he's [bad word] 'Cause he's sure as [bad word] not writing back

'Cause this ship's going down
All on account of the weather
Though we'll drown
There's no need to frown
'Cause we're all going together
And I won't say "Woe is me"
As I disappear into the sea
'Cause I'm in [bad word] As we're all going together

I've had women of every kind
But the only one [bad word] was mine
Is the one at home who'll be alone 
When I am full-up with brine
For my son, I always had a plan
For to raise him as best as I can
Oh well you can bet my only regret 
Is to not see him grow to a man

'Cause this ship's going down
All on account of the weather
Though we'll drown
There's no need to frown
'Cause we're all going together
And I won't say "Woe is me"
As I disappear into the sea
'Cause I'm in [bad word] As we're all going together

I was sinking down into the brine
When a curious sight caught my eye
Seaman Shaft had found a raft
And was makin' a speedy goodbye
At the risk of sounding absurd
I have always been good as my word
So a fishgig I lanced into his eye
And I knocked his [bad word] overboard

'Cause this ship's going down
All on account of the weather
Though we'll drown
There's no need to frown
'Cause we're all going together
And I won't say "Woe is me"
As I disappear into the sea
Oh [bad word] 
'Cause you've all been so good to me
So we're all going together
