Downed And Drowned
San Jose was lost at sea
Along with a Spanish company
Their powder caught under fierce attack
The king never got his emeralds back
They're down, downed, and drowned
Downed and drowned and never found
The Royal Charter in Dulas bay
One of 200 lost that day
Miners' pockets filled with gold
Dragged them down to the ocean cold
They're down, downed, and drowned
Downed and drowned and never found
They're down, drowned in the depths below
Where the sun don't shine and the winds don't blow
And the timbers crack and the mainstay fails
We'll all find peace wrapped within our sails
Mary Celeste was found alone
The fate of her crew is still unknown
Murder, fraud, or acts bizarre
No one can say but chances are
They're down, downed, and drowned
Downed and drowned and never found
Hail the revenge for their bravery
Tried to escape fighting 53
The surrender of her last 16 crew
Couldn't save her boards from the briny blue
They're down, downed, and drowned
Downed and drowned and never found
They're down, drowned in the depths below
Where the sun don't shine and the winds don't blow
And the timbers crack and the mainstay fails
We'll all find peace wrapped within our sails
Pity the crew of Hermione
Suffered a curse in mutiny
Their vicious captain caused the brawl
Mutineers and victims all
They're down, downed, and drowned
Downed and drowned and never found
General Slocum's wheels of wood
Caught ablaze like they never should
Floats of cork filled with weights instead
Sent families off to the riverbed
They're down, downed, and drowned
Downed and drowned and never found
They're down, drowned in the depths below
Where the sun don't shine and the winds don't blow
When the timbers crack and the mainstay fails
We'll all find peace wrapped within our sails
All my friends are dead and gone
I'll join them soon, it won't be long
Whether lost at sea or far ashore
To the ocean return forevermore
We're down, downed, and drowned
Downed and drowned and never found
Down, downed, and drowned
Downed and drowned and never found
Down, downed, and drowned
Downed and drowned and never found
Down, downed, and drowned
Downed and drowned and never found
Down, downed, and drowned
Along with a Spanish company
Their powder caught under fierce attack
The king never got his emeralds back
They're down, downed, and drowned
Downed and drowned and never found
The Royal Charter in Dulas bay
One of 200 lost that day
Miners' pockets filled with gold
Dragged them down to the ocean cold
They're down, downed, and drowned
Downed and drowned and never found
They're down, drowned in the depths below
Where the sun don't shine and the winds don't blow
And the timbers crack and the mainstay fails
We'll all find peace wrapped within our sails
Mary Celeste was found alone
The fate of her crew is still unknown
Murder, fraud, or acts bizarre
No one can say but chances are
They're down, downed, and drowned
Downed and drowned and never found
Hail the revenge for their bravery
Tried to escape fighting 53
The surrender of her last 16 crew
Couldn't save her boards from the briny blue
They're down, downed, and drowned
Downed and drowned and never found
They're down, drowned in the depths below
Where the sun don't shine and the winds don't blow
And the timbers crack and the mainstay fails
We'll all find peace wrapped within our sails
Pity the crew of Hermione

We're down, downed, and drowned
Downed and drowned and never found
Down, downed, and drowned
Downed and drowned and never found
Down, downed, and drowned
Downed and drowned and never found
Down, downed, and drowned
Downed and drowned and never found
Down, downed, and drowned
