Went Down She Did
" Went Down She Did "
Twere that Fantome went down went down so she did
Chosen she that Devil against then so to bid
Her souls naught but bravest... bravest thirty-three
As fury o'that tempest shook their ravaged sea
Her captain young grown bold thus thought twere it so
Match o'wit which way Satan's wind would then next blow
Twas themselves what stood a'shore
Ne'er a'seen such storm a'fore
Hailed run this way that go south go north
Twas all last heard as fears were lost in mighty sally forth
And that Devil plagued that Fantome surely so her final day
Twas October's hottest wind as ever hurled in solemn play
Twere that Fantome went down went down so she did
As against winds o'fury they sailed then on to bid
Twas dour fate that which young captain had been dealt
Or so in heart he felt...
As did he sail toward wind and so then into night
Twere Fantome took down she did young captain all his might
As went down so she did in fury's wicked flight
Seas atop foremast bare... poles then shred o'white
So did'st fiercely sail her captain... unknown to him his plight
Twas sure he'd seen his depths... in cyclone's surly breath
Twas known to him he'd entered... that battle to very death
Her souls naught but bravest... bravest thirty-three
As fury o'that tempest shook their ravaged sea
Oh that Fantome went down went down she did
To all then lost nor aught be o'life so fleetly rid
To that very bottom then she sailed... surely so she did.
