She drifted ashore from foreign land
her grandness and pride had gone
All beat up and bruised by nature's hand
Her crew had been overthrown
Deadly and daunting she laid still, as darkness faded
In shallow waters she came to stay
Unloading illness from far away
Her maiden voyage, an extravagant ride
Abruptly ended, a turn of the tide
The orphan had seen her drift that night
Excited to climb onboard
He waited until the morning light
Brought a cross and his wooden sword
Such a bold, juvenile mind
No second thoughts of what he might find
In shallow waters she came to stay
Unloading illness from far away
Her maiden voyage, an extravagant ride
Abruptly ended, a turn of the tide
Inscriptions on the hull
Crossed bones and a skull
Did not deter this boy
A good adventure brought him joy
In shallow waters she came to stay
Unloading illness from far away
Her maiden voyage, an extravagant ride
Abruptly ended, a turn of the tide
