Bury Me Not - Mick McAuley[00:00:00]
Bury me not in the deep deep sea [00:00:16]
These words came slow and faintly[00:00:23]
From the pallid lips of a youth who lay[00:00:31]
In his cabin bunk at the close of day [00:00:40]
Bury me not in the deep deep sea[00:00:48]
Where the cold dark waves will swallow me [00:00:56]
Where no light shall break through the darkening waves [00:01:04]
And no sunbeam find my silent grave [00:01:12]
He mourned and pined till o'er his brow [00:01:29]
Death's shades had slowly crept there now [00:01:37]
He wished his home and his loved ones nigh[00:01:45]
As the sailors gathered to see him die [00:01:53]
Oh bury me not his voice failed there [00:02:01]
They paid no heed to his dying prayer [00:02:09]
They lowered him down o'er the ships dark side [00:02:17]
And above him closed the dismal tide [00:02:25]
He bore no costly winding sheet[00:03:06]
To wrap around his head or feet [00:03:14]
They lowered him down where the billows roar [00:03:23]
In the deep deep sea far from the shore [00:03:30]
A girl on shore many tears will shed[00:03:39]
For the one who lies on the ocean bed [00:03:47]
Above his heart the whale will hiss [00:03:55]
And his pallid lips the fish will kiss[00:04:03]
