The Thresher (LP版) - Phil Ochs (菲尔·奥克斯)[00:00:00]

In Portsmouth town on the eastern shore[00:00:10]

Where many a fine ship was born [00:00:13]

The Thresher was built[00:00:17]

And the Thresher was launched[00:00:19]

And the crew of the Thresher was sworn [00:00:21]

She was shaped like a tear[00:00:25]

She was built like a shark[00:00:27]

She was made to run fast and free [00:00:29]

And the builders shook their hands[00:00:33]

And the builders shared their wine [00:00:34]

And thought that they had mastered the sea [00:00:37]

Yes she'll always run silent[00:00:40]

And she'll always run deep[00:00:44]

Though the ocean has no pity[00:00:47]

Though the waves will never weep[00:00:51]

They'll never weep [00:00:54]

And they marvelled at her speed[00:00:58]

Marvelled at her depth[00:01:00]

Marvelled at her deadly design [00:01:02]

And they sailed to every land[00:01:06]

And they sailed to every port[00:01:07]

Just to see what faults they could find [00:01:09]

Then they put her on the land[00:01:13]

For nine months to stand[00:01:15]

And they worked on her from stem to stern [00:01:16]

But they could never see[00:01:21]

It was their coffin to be[00:01:22]

For the sea was waiting for their return [00:01:24]

Yes she'll always run silent[00:01:28]

And she'll always run deep[00:01:31]

Though the ocean has no pity[00:01:35]

And the waves will never weep[00:01:38]

They'll never weep [00:01:42]

On a cold Wednesday morn[00:01:46]

They put her out to sea[00:01:48]

When the waves they were nine feet high [00:01:49]

And they dove beneath the waves[00:01:53]

And they dove to their graves[00:01:55]

And they never said a last goodbye [00:01:57]

And its deeper and deeper[00:02:00]

And deeper they dove[00:02:02]

Just to see what their ship could stand [00:02:04]

But the hull gave a moan[00:02:08]

And the hull gave a groan[00:02:09]

And they plunged to the deepest darkest sand [00:02:11]

Now she lies in the depths[00:02:15]

Of the darkened ocean floor[00:02:17]

Covered by the waters cold and still [00:02:19]

Oh can't you see the wrong[00:02:22]

She was a death ship all along[00:02:24]

Died before she had a chance to kill [00:02:26]

And she'll never run silent [00:02:30]

And she'll never run deep [00:02:33]

For the ocean had no pity[00:02:37]

And the waves they never weep [00:02:41]

They never weep[00:02:44]
