mick mcauley - bury me not كلمات الأغنية

oh, bury me not in the deep, deep sea.”
these words came slow and faintly
from the pallid lips of a youth who lay
in his cabin bunk at the close of day

“oh, bury me not in the deep, deep sea
where the cold dark waves will swallow me
where no light shall break through the darkening waves
and no sunbeam find my silent grave

he mourned and pined till o’er his brow
death’s shades had slowly crept there now
he wished his home and his loved ones nigh
as the sailors gathered to see him die

“oh, bury me not” — his voice failed there
they paid no heed to his dying prayer
they lowered him down o’er the ships dark side
and above him closed the dismal tide

he bore no costly winding sheet
to wrap around his head or feet
they lowered him down where the billows roar
in the deep, deep sea far from the sh0r-

a girl on sh0r-, many tears will shed
for the one who lies on the ocean bed
above his heart the whale will hiss
and his pallid lips the fish will kiss

adapted from “the ocean burial” by george n. allen, 1850
