I was just 16 when I left that day To soak in the salty ocean spray Me mudder told me I should go to school The ocean seemed to call me name I wanted riches wealth and fame I told me mudder I'm no fool The boat she was old and coloured rust I was 16 and full of trust I threw me bags upon the deck They called me young and green This tiny bay was all I'd seen I couldn't wait to get me check Swell sent me to the sky At 16 I thought I'd die Send me to the salty grave Sit around and watch the gale I'll join in and tend the pail These rugged men are truly brave I left home 3 weeks ago I've seen hail and sleet and snow I hope I'm strong enough to fight This trip may be cut short She's a real bad list to port And Johnny Mac went over board last night Swell sent me to the sky At 16 I thought I'd die Send me to the salty grave Sit around and watch the gale I'll join in and tend the pail These rugged men are truly brave Left home 6 weeks today I miss me small wharf in the bay Now we're headed through another gale Seen things I'll n'er forget I'm not ready to pass on yet I'll hang on for dear life to the rail Swell sent me to the sky Guess 16's my time to die Send me to the salty grave This will be my final gale There's too much water for the pail Just tell me mudder I was brave Over head the rogue wave came Please don't forget our names Each man aboard the vessel is a friend She rolls she won't come back The water's cold and rough and black But we stood like real men till the end I was just 16 when I left that day To soak in th salty ocean spray Me mudder told me I should go to school They called me young and green This tiny bay was all I'd seen I told me mudder I'm no fool
