The Wreck of Antoinette Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich Full fathom five, on the seabed she lies - the Antoinette! I sailed with the dawn and the wind blew free 'Cross the bright shining sea And it filled the sails of my Antionette Goodbye home and the one I love Put my faith in the sky and the stars above 'cause there's nothing in this world I wouldn't bet On my Antoinette She carries your name and for you I'll try To be strong or I'll die And I'll find my grave in the rolling waves Ride on baby don't you let me down Ocean's big and you don't want to see me drown But a bitter rain begins to beat the deck Of the Antoinette See the rain come lashing There's a sudden flash of lightning on the foam (Hold on Antoinette!) The ocean pounds in fury On a man who fights against it all alone (Keep on Antoinette!) She goes down with a sigh And with her hear that cry Antoinette! Antoinette! Dawn breaks on the sea and the long dark night Now gives way to the light and no trace remains Of the Antoinette Deep she lies on the ocean floor Far away from the girl who still waits by the shore Does she know her love is buried in the wreck Of the Antoinette Deep she lies, deep she lies Antoinette! Antoinette!
