https://youtube/watch?v=CpFHffUPQho Silent Annie Lyrics For The Lonesome Boatman I saw which nearly broke my heart A tramp lay dying In the park I knelt beside him to hear him speak And the words that He spoke were very Weak 2 He told me a story of Long since past Of a gallant ship with it’s long grey mast Of his captain’s cap With it’s shining braid And the wonderfull voyages that he made 3 Oh silent annie was that great ships name Like a token of love He spoke her name She sailed round the horn Ay’e more than once She could cut through The waves Like a sharpen’d lance 4 Oh believe me he said As his eyes filled with tears Like a drunk on the corner Remembering his years He reached out his hand And he took it in mine I believe you i said And he gave a sad smile 5 Then came the day when they towed her away Her sid’es they were sore From the sea’s angered spray He said she’s unfit to Sail out once more They tugged her more windward All around sandyshore 6 As they broke silent annie I watched with a sigh I remembered her beauty When i was a boy She was my one love my Lifes only dream When we sailed out together As captain and queen 7 It started to rain i Felt my hand tight He squeezed even harder As he ended the fight The people they gathered And watched with dismay The ambulance men came and took him away 8 I got to my feet and i Walked through the park The sun it had gone but It was not yet dark My body was wet my Clothes were not many My thoughts were around By the ship silent annie
