Oh, wrap me in my country’s flag, and lay me in the cold blue seanLet the roaring of the waves, my solemn requiem benAnd I shall sleep a pleasant sleep, while storms above their vigils keepnnMy Captain brave shall read for me, the service of the silent deadnAnd yay shall lower me in the waves, when all the prayers are saidnAnd I will find my long, long home, among the billows and the foamnFarewell my friends for many a league, we’ve sailed together on the deepnCome let us shake our hands, I’ll sail no more, but shipmates wear for weepnnI’m bound above, my course is runnI near the port, my voyage is done
