Down And Drowned

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

The Royal Charter in Dulas bay

One of 200 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

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

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

Hail the revenge for their bravery

Tried to escape fighting 53

The surrender of her last 16 crew

Couldn't save her boards from the briny blue

They're down, downed, and drowned

Downed and drowned and never found

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

Pity the crew of Hermione

Suffered a curse in mutiny

Their vicious captain caused the brawl

Mutineers and victims all

They're down, downed, and drowned

Downed and drowned and never found

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

They're down, drowned in the depths below

Where the sun don't shine and the winds don't blow

When the timbers crack and the mainstay fails

We'll all find peace wrapped within our sails

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

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
