Take Me In Your Lifeboat Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (Ft. Del McCoury, Rob McCoury & Ronnie McCoury)

Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat
It will stand the ragin' storm
Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat
It will bear my spirit home

Come on, brothers and sisters, and don't fall asleep
Pray night and day or you'll sink in the deep
Now fathers and mothers are prayin' so loud
Saying : ‘Lord, won't you take me in your lifeboat?’

Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat
It will stand the ragin' storm
Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat
It will bear my spirit home

Clouds are so heavy, the winds are so loud
The thunder a rolling bursting in the clouds
They pray to their shipmates for what they have done
They took the dyin' sinners in their lifeboat

Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat
It will stand the ragin' storm
Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat
It will bear my spirit home
