See the ship out on the sea
a way-strong wind has cut her free
The Annabelle, she's washed a-ground
Down, donny-donny-donny down
Neptune's arm flung them aside
no one to hear their final cries
Every Christian man, he died,
Down, donny-donny-donny down
CHORUS
Down, donny-donny-donny down,
Down, donny-donny-donny down,
Down, donny-donny-donny down
donny-donny-donny down
In Bristol port she waits for me,
the fairest lass ye ever see,
to sixteen fathoms I am bound
Down, donny-donny-donny down
Oh, Katherine, I'll 'home no more
never again touch England's shore,
to curse the sea forever more,
Down, donny-donny-donny down
CHORUS
Oh, Jack, my love, where can ye be?
Too long I've searched the empty sea,
Til my own death to thee I'm bound,
Down, donny-donny-donny down
CHORUS
HOME
