Shipwrecked Blues Clara Smith

[Verse 1]
Oh, the gale is raging
And my ship's without a sail
Oh, the gale is raging
And my ship's without a sail
If the wind keeps on a-blowing
I won't be left to tell the tale

[Verse 2]
Oh, the ship is sinking
And the lightning struck the mast
Now, the ship is sinking
And the lightning struck the mast
And my crew is done deserted
I've got to stick here to the last

[Verse 3]
Oh, I don't mind drowning
But the water is so cold
No, I don't mind drowning
But the water is so cold
If I must leave this good world
I wanna leave it brave and bold

[Verse 4]
Mama's shipwrecked, shipwrecked
She ain't got no time to lose
Mama's shipwrecked, shipwrecked
She ain't got no time to lose
Lord, if someone don't save me
I'll go down singing the shipwrecked blues
