Lyrics:
I once went down to a fishing town
on the coast of North Caroline
where the men tell stories of danger and glory
to pass away the time
but the strangest story I ever did hear
was a man whose voice was shaking with fear
in a bar, on a dark, stormy night
did you hear about the Blackfish?
disappeared on a night like this
seven years ago today
they say you've gotta have a death wish
to go sailing in a storm like this
there's something underneath the waves
the captain was a man called Angry Sam,
the meanest fishing man in town
he made a wager with a fur trader
to try and sail the island round
but that night the wind and the rain
were stirring up a bona fide hurricane
blowing hard across the sound
did you hear about the Blackfish?
disappeared on a night like this
seven years ago today
they say you've gotta have a death wish
to go sailing in a storm like this
there's something underneath the waves
Sam and his men were never seen again
after that stormy night
We could only find one thing they left behind
a piece of an old wooden pipe
and thus, the old man finished his tale
and looked back down at his bottle of ale
and I reckon, he's telling that same story this very night
did you hear about the Blackfish?
disappeared on a night like this
seven years ago today
they say you've gotta have a death wish
to go sailing in a storm like this
there's something underneath the waves
