Luyện nghe bài hát The Ship In Distress

The Ship in
You bold that plough the ocean,
What dangers do never know.
The sun gangs old England's nation;
No can tell what you go through.
Through storms in the height of battle,
Now mark you what I do say,
Where thund'ring cannons loudly
There's no door to run away.
Of a ship there was a captain;
A long time they bad drove on sea.
The weather to them so uncertain,
brought them to extremity.
Nothing on poor souls to nourish,
Nor to their feeble arms;
The whole crew were nearly starving,
The men were but skin and bone.
The cats and dogs how did eat them,
Hunger to them severe;
Captain and men of one
They all of them equal shares.
At length, at length the hour on them,
The came on them most bitterly.
fellows all stood titter totter,
Casting lots which of should die.
The lot was cast on one poor
had a wife at home on shore,
But to think of eating our creatures
It was that which us ten times more.
'l am willing to die,'this man answered,
But to the topmast away,
For perhaps some help you may
While I unto the do pray.'
The captain said he a vessel
About a league us or more,
Some signals of were fired
And for us away she bore.
And soon we got plenty,
And far all such deadly fear,
To see pity they took upon us
You could not help but a tear.
But now we're in old England
And far from all such fear,
We'll drink unto our wives and
And unto all we so dear.
May God all jolly sailors
And all that the raging main;
May they see no more such trials
And never know the again.
