Song: The Wreck of the Antoinette

I sailed with the dawn and the wind blew free 
'Cross the bright shining sea 
And it filled the sails of my Antionette 

Goodbye home and the one I love 
Put my faith in the sky and the stars above 
Cos there's nothing in this world I wouldn't bet 
On my Antoinette 

She carries your name and for you I'll try 
To be strong or I'll die 
And I'll find my grave in the rolling waves 

Ride on baby don't you let me down 
Ocean's big and you don't wanna see me drown 
But a bitter rain begins to beat the deck 
Of the Antoinette 

See the rain come lashing 
There's a sudden flash of lightning on the foam 
(Hold on Antoinette!) 
The ocean pounds in fury 
On a man who fights against it all alone 
(Keep on Antoinette!) 
She goes down with a sigh 
And with her hear that cry 
Antoinette! Antoinette! 

Dawn breaks on the sea and the long dark night 
Now gives way to the light and no trace remains 
Of the Antoinette 

Deep she lies on the ocean floor 
Far away from the girl who still waits by the shore 
Does she know her love is buried in the wreck 
Of the Antoinette 

Deep she lies, deep she lies 
Antoinette! Antoinette!
