Lyrics
His Name Was Duncan ©2014 Anthony M. Annunziata 404-668-1008
Vs1
His name was Duncan he lived his life at sea
Sailors say a rouge wave took the life of his Marie
The sea's a jealous lover and Duncan blames himself
Reliving all those memories he thinks of nothing else
Chorus
There were shouts of fare thee well so the sailors tell
As loved one's wiped tears from their eyes
They prayed their safe return but if not they discerned
That Jesus would keep them by His side
Vs2
One night the stars had vanished and pressure filled the air
The crew secured the trawler but Duncan only starred
He thought about redemption and cursed that mighty wave
His final act courageous so said the men he saved
Chorus
There were shouts of fare thee well so the sailors tell
As loved one's wiped tears from their eyes
They prayed their safe return but if not they discerned
That Jesus would keep them by His side..................................Music
Chorus
There were shouts of fare thee well so the sailors tell
As loved one's wiped tears from their eyes
They prayed their safe return but if not they discerned
That Jesus would keep them by His side
Vs3
From Kennebunk to Portland, Bar Harbor, to Booth Bay
The trawlers left the harbor their bounty days away
Within the grasp of nature they struggled to survive
A risk they found worth taking to help improve their lives
Chorus
There'll be shouts of fare thee well so the sailors tell
As loved one's wipe tears from their eyes
They'll pray their safe return but if not they'll discern
That Jesus will keep them by His side
That Jesus will keep them by His side
