| 16 fathoms down
|
| Where my ship is bound
|
| Another drop in the ocean
|
| 16 fathoms down
|
| She said, «Sailor man, believe me
|
| I stand on solid ground
|
| You say your plan is to leave me
|
| And sail out from this town
|
| You know prophecy runs in my family
|
| I know where your ship is bound
|
| One day you’re going to find yourself
|
| 16 fathoms down."
|
| 16 fathoms down
|
| Where my soul is bound
|
| Another drop in the ocean
|
| 16 fathoms down
|
| I didn’t pay no mind to her
|
| I just turned around
|
| My ship lies out in the harbor
|
| I sail out from this town
|
| My thoughts become uneasy
|
| Her words keep turning 'round
|
| I pray that I won’t find myself
|
| 16 fathoms down
|
| 16 fathoms down
|
| Where my soul is bound
|
| Another drop in the ocean
|
| 16 fathoms down

|
| As I sail out on the sound
|
| I pray to God this darkness pass
|
| I pray that I won’t drown
|
| Now the sails are blown to bloody rags
|
| The mizzen mast come down
|
| The prophecy has doomed me
|
| 16 fathoms down
|
| Of course, God come to find me
|
| In the place where the ship went down
|
| The prophecy will bind me
|
| And that’s where I’ll be drowned
|
| 16 fathoms down
|
| Where my ship is bound
|
| Another drop in the ocean
|
| 16 fathoms down
