“Oh Lord, please don’t let there be any shipwrecks,
Let the lighthouse shine out bright and clear.
But if you feel that there should be a shipwreck,
then please Lord, let that ship be wrecked here.
There’s a path all the way from the clifftop
to the caves down below and the sea
It’s steep and it’s loose and it’s slippery
You gotta mind how you go.
On a moonless night, you need a little light
We don’t want any accidents, you see.
Don’t let there be shipwrecks
Lighthouse shine out bright and clear
If there needs to be a tragedy at sea
then let the cargo be washed ashore here
Oh the living is hard down this way
the soil is all stoney and poor
We don’t have a port, no fish to be caught
There’s just what the tide brings ashore
And the duty free liquor in store.
Next time it happens, don’t let me be late
or allow too much salt water
to infiltrate
Please don’t let there be shipwrecks,
Let the lighthouse shine out bright and clear.
If there needs to be a tragedy at sea,
Let the next one be here.
