Words by Will Carleton 1845-1912
Music by Denny Carleton

                          G          Emin  Cma7 D
Sank a palace by the sea
                          G        Em     Cma7  D
When my ship went down
G                    G7    C           Cmin       D                 D7
Friends who's hearts were gold to me, gifts that ne'er again can be neath the water brown
 
                        G              Emin  Cma7 D
O there you, tie old ship today
                       G               Emin  Cma7 D
'Neath the sand bars stiff and gray
                  G            G7     C     Cm     D   D7
You who proudly sailed away to another town
 
                          A           F#min Bm  E
Now the ocean's bitter cup
                       A       F#m            Bm    E
Leaves behind your trembiling lips
  A             A7     D          Dm              E               E7
Now on deathly woes you sup and your humbled pride looks up from disaster's grips
 
                        A         F#min    Bm    E
Ruined nets around you weave
                          A         F#m    Bm   E
But I have no time to grieve
                   A         A7    D   Dm        E    A
I will promptly, I believe, build another ship
