16 fathoms down Where my ship is bound Another drop in the ocean 16 fathoms down
She said, “Sailor man, believe me I stand on solid ground You say your plan is to leave me And sail out from this town
You know prophecy runs in my family I know where your ship is bound One day you're going to find yourself 16 fathoms down.”
16 fathoms down Where my soul is bound Another drop in the ocean 16 fathoms down
I didn't pay no mind to her I just turned around My ship lies out in the harbor I sail out from this town
My thoughts become uneasy Her words keep turning 'round I pray that I won't find myself 16 fathoms down
16 fathoms down Where my soul is bound Another drop in the ocean 16 fathoms down
Girl, it nuh matter weh yuh do and it nuh matter weh say Yuh try break mi but it nuh work today It nuh matter weh u do and it nuh matter weh yuh say Mi wear di crown and yuh caan teck it weh Yuh think mi was a loser but mi tell yuh say wrong A nuff woman a road dem waan mi fi be dem man Positivity surround mi Mi nuh waan nutten negative round mi
A storm will rage inside me As I sail out on the sound I pray to God this darkness pass I pray that I won't drown
Now the sails are blown to bloody rags The mizzen mast come down The prophecy has doomed me 16 fathoms down
Of course, God come to find me In the place where the ship went down The prophecy will bind me And that's where I'll be drowned
16 fathoms down Where my ship is bound Another drop in the ocean 16 fathoms down
Girl, it nuh matter weh yuh do and it nuh matter weh say Yuh try break mi but it nauh work today It nuh matter weh u do and it nuh matter weh yuh say Mi wear di crown and yuh caan teck it weh Yuh think mi was loser but mi tell yuh say wrong A nuff woman a road dem waan mi fi be dem man Positivity surround miTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
