Oh the time will come up
when the winds will stop
and the breeze will
cease to he hreathin'
Like the stillness in the
wind before the
hurricane begins
The hour that the

ship comes in
And the sea will split

and the ships will hit
And the tide will sound
and the waves

will pound and the
morning will be
a-hreaking
The fishes will laugh

as they swim out
of the path
And the rocks

on the sand
will proudly stand
For the chains of the

sea will have busted
in the night
And be buried on the

bottom of the ocean
A song will lift
as the mainsail shifts

and the boat drifts
on to the shoreline
Then the sands will roll
out a carpet of gold

for your weary toes
to be a-touchin'
And the ship's wise men
will remind you
once again that the
whole wide world
is watchin'
Oh the fees will rise
with the sleep still in
their eyes and they'll
ierk from their beds
and think they're dreamin'
The hour that the

ship comes in
Then they'll raise
their hands

sayin' we'll meet
all your demands
And like Pharaoh's tribe
they'll be drowned

in the tide and like
Goliath they'll
be conquered
