Take Me In A Lifeboat Lyrics - Flatt And Scruggs

Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat 

It will stand the raging storm 

Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat 

It will bear my spirit home 

Now, come brothers and sisters and don't fall asleep 

But pray night and day or you'll sink in the deep 

Fathers and mothers are praying so well 

Saying Lord won't you take us in your lifeboat? 

Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat 

It will stand the raging storm 

Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat 

It will bear my spirit home 

The clouds are so heavy, the winds are so loud 

The thunders are rolling, bursting the clouds 

They pray to their sinner mates for what they have done 

They took the dying sinner in their lifeboat
