We were crowded in the cabin Not a soul would dare to sleep It was a midnight on the waters And a storm was on the deep It was a fearful thing in winter To be shattered by the blast And to hear the rattling trumphet Thunder cut away the mast We were crowded in the cabin Not a soul would dare to sleep It was a midnight on the waters And a storm was on the deep So we shudderd in the silence For the soutest held his breath While the Hungry sea was roaring And the breakers talked with death We were crowded in the cabin Not a soul would dare to sleep It was a midnight on the waters And a storm was on the deep As thus we sat in darkness Each one busy with his prayers We are lost the captain shouted As he staggered down the stairs We were crowded in the cabin Not a soul would dare to sleep It was a midnight on the waters And a storm was on the deep But his little daughter wispered As she took his icy hand Isnt god apon the ocean Just the same as on the land We were crowded in the cabin Not a soul would dare to sleep It was a midnight on the waters And the storm was on the deep Then we kissed the little maiden And we spake in little cheer And we anchored safe in harbour When the morn was shining clear
