Steady As She Goes

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I see the thunderheads gather In the northern sky And my heart is sinking In the threatening tide 'Cause my portside's heavy With the worries of life And the worries of dying On the starboard side [Verse 2] Well, I wonder, am I really Stouthearted enough? 'Cause the ocean is a-rolling And these waters are rough See the storm clouds brewing In the sky above So let my vessel be sturdy Let my anchor be tough [Chorus] 'Cause the clouds are known to gather And the wind is prone to blow I'll keep her steady as a river When the wild wind comes to blow Well, I've already been delivered So I'll keep her steady as she goes [Verse 3] Well, I shiver in the wake of the raging storm And my rigging is a-tattered And these sails are torn I may cast this cargo overboard But I ain't setting my headings For no change in course [Chorus] Though the clouds are known to gather And the wind is prone to blow I'll keep her steady as a river When the wild wind comes to blow I've already been delivered So I'll keep her steady as she goes [Bridge] So when you can't find the faith to slumber When you're thrown by every swell Know that you're not going under With the Captain at the helm [Chorus] So keep her steady as a river When the wild wind comes to blow You've already been delivered So just keep her steady as she goes Just keep her steady as she goes Steady as she goes
