/G /There was / just us five a - / board her,
When she / finally was a - / wash,

All / spring now we've been / with her,

C / DTwice I've had the / bends.
Thank / God it's only / sixty feet, and
/ C / GThe / currents here are / slow, or

To go be - / low.
/ G /But we've / patched her rents, / stopped her vents,
