Eighty Four Voices

Last Moments of the Crew of the Ocean Ranger? Eighty-four voices cried out in the night In the roar of the wind driven seas. Help us, we're drowning, this rig's going down And we'll miss Valentine's Day. ----- Damn! Why won't it work; they said that it would! Why the hell can't we right her back up? Help us, we're drowning, our rig's going down And we'll miss Valentine's Day. ----- This rig’s a-listing; can't right her back up. We all tried hard but it wouldn’t work. The winds are howling, huge waves swamping us And we'll miss Valentine's Day. ---- Eighty-four voices prayed hard in the night, My god will we not see tomorrow? Help! We're drowning, Ocean Ranger is doomed And we'll miss Valentine's Day. (Chorus) Repeat first verse...... ----- W.C.Hull © 2004-15-2-723
