[Verse 1] San Jose was lost at sea Along with a Spanish company Their powder caught under fierce attack The king never got his emeralds back They're down, downed and drowned Downed and drowned and never found [Verse 2] The Royal Charter in Dulas bay One of two hundred lost that day Miners' pockets filled with gold Dragged them down to the ocean cold They're down, downed and drowned Downed and drowned and never found [Chorus] They're down, drowned in thе depths below Wherе the sun don't shine and the winds don't blow And the timbers crack and the mainstay fails We'll all find peace wrapped within our sails [Verse 3] Mary Celeste was found alone The fate of her crew is still unknown Murder, fraud or acts bizarre No one can say but chances are They're down, downed and drowned Downed and drowned and never found [Verse 4] Hail The Revenge for their bravery Tried to escape fighting fifty-three The surrender of her last sixteen crew Couldn't save her boards from the briny blue They're down, downed and drowned Downed and drowned and never found [Chorus] They're down, drowned in the depths below Where the sun don't shine and the winds don't blow And the timbers crack and the mainstay fails We'll all find peace wrapped within our sails [Verse 5] Pity the crew of Hermione Suffered a cursèd mutiny Their vicious captain caused the brawl Mutineers and victims all They're down, downed and drowned Downed and drowned and never found [Verse 6] General Slocum's wheels of wood Caught ablaze like they never should Floats of cork filled with weights instead Sent families off to the riverbed They're down, downed and drowned Downed and drowned and never found [Chorus] They're down, drowned in the depths below Where the sun don't shine and the winds don't blow And the timbers crack and the mainstay fails We'll all find peace wrapped within our sails [Verse 7] All my friends are dead and gone I'll join them soon, it won't be long Whether lost at sea or far ashore To the ocean return forevermore We're down, downed and drowned Downed and drowned and never found [Outro] Down, downed and drowned Downed and drowned and never found Down, downed and drowned Downed and drowned and never found Down, downed and drowned Downed and drowned and never found Down, downed and drowned Downed and drowned and never found
