Here\u2019s to the Halcyon
Old 97's

get me through this Lord and I'll do anything you say

Live right read a good book I'll settle down and prey

When Gabriel blows his horn I know things might not go my way

Get me through this Lord and Ill do anything you say

Pluck me from this driftwood Lord Ill be a better man

Raise me from the deep sea in the palm of your great hand

Let me see tomorrow and Ill try to understand

How the sinking of my little vessel fits into your plan

Heres to the Halcyon, forever may she rest

At the bottom of the ocean, for the good Lord knows best

You made her from lumber and you gave her to the sea

Now good Lord what do you propose to do with me?

Get me through this Lord and Ill devote my life to you

Things look pretty bleak right now but I know youll come through

Ive squandered my good fortune and my other fortune too

Get me through this Lord and Ill devote my life to you

I cannot change my past mistakes

Ive led a life devoid of virtue

Either way the man I am

Is dead and gone although I know the past

Can come around and hurt you

Get me through this lord and I will never drink again

Ill pore over my Bible and Ill pour out all my gin

Ill prove to you a sinning man can turn his back on sin

Give me some fresh water Lord Ill never drink again

Heres to the Halcyon, forever may she rest

At the bottom of the ocean, for the good Lord knows best

You made her from lumber and you gave her to the sea

Now good Lord what do you propose to do with me?

Heres to the Halcyon, forever may she rest

At the bottom of the ocean, for the good Lord knows best

You made her from lumber and you gave her to the sea

Now good Lord what do you propose to do with me?

Good Lord what do you propose to do with me?
