letra de slowly he sank to the bottom of the sea - henry calvin

[gonzorgo]
we don’t know how to tell you this, miss mary
no, we don’t know how to tell you this at all
we were 20 leagues at sea
it was calm as it could be
when out of the north,there came a sudden squall

he was standing at the wheel, he was, miss mary
and across the deck, the mighty ocean roared
then the mizzen broke and fell
and we heard the fellow yell
as it bashed him down and swept him overboard

slowly, slowly, he sank into the sea
though we tried to save him, he sank into the sea
we are bringing you his personal belongings
and in his hat we found this soggy note
though the salty ocean spray somehow washed the words away
i’ll see if i can’t decipher what he wrote;

“darling mary”, he begins, or is that “dearest”?
yes, that’s the term he uses, we agree
now, the boy goes on to tell how he hopes this finds you well
it’s too bad he slowly sank into the sea
slowly, slowly, he sank into the sea
with no life preserver, he sank into the sea
“i am poor”, the letter reads, “and can’t support you
and it’s best i sail away and set you free
n0ble lady that you are
you’d be better off by far if you were to marry wealthy barnaby.”

we advise you to forget him now, miss mary
our condolences to you, we do extend
but we’ll blame you not, my dear
if you care to shed a tear for the way he met his most untimely end
slowly, slowly, he sank into the sea
to the very bottom, he sank into the sea
