Once there sailed the North Sea
|
The North Sea wide and cold
|
A ship heavily loaded
|
With the world's most precious gold
|
|
The enemy ship was floating
|
To steal our precious gold
|
Floating on the North Sea
|
Our North Sea wide and cold
|
Our youngest comrade, the bravest of us all
|
Volunteered to sink the boat loaded with gold
|
|
He jumped into the North Sea
|
Our North Sea, wide and cold
|
|
Our valiant friend, approached the ship's hold
|
With his fairest knife he gouged out a hole
|
Down! Down! And down! Down went the boat!!
|
Our valiant friend, approached the ship's hold
|
With his fairest knife he gouged out a hole
|
Down! Down went the boat!!!
|
|
North Sea! Swallowed by the waves
|
North Sea! They found their seaman's grave!
|
North Sea! Swallowed by the waves
|
North Sea! They found their seaman's grave!
|
|
But not before a hostile archer
|
Had aimed at our youngest friend
|
Who got hit in the chest and also down he went
|
We pulled him onto deck
|
And on our deck he died
|
A seaman's grave became his part
|
The message (delivered) to his bride
|
|
Our youngest comrade
|
In his young pride
|
Now he embraced the North Sea
|
The North Sea as his bride!
|
|
North Sea! Our comrade young and brave
|
North Sea! Down in a seaman's grave
|
North Sea! Our comrade young and brave
|
North Sea! Down in his seaman's grave
