Here's to the Halcyon

get me through this Lord and I'll do anything you say
 Live right read a good book I'll settle down and prey
 When Gabriel blows his horn I know things might not go my way
 Get me through this Lord and I'll do anything you say
 Pluck me from this driftwood Lord I'll be a better man
 Raise me from the deep sea in the palm of your great hand
 Let me see tomorrow and I'll try to understand
 How the sinking of my little vessel fits into your plan
 Here's to the Halcyon, forever may she rest
 At the bottom of the ocean, for the good Lord knows best
 You made her from lumber and you gave her to the sea
 Now good Lord what do you propose to do with me?
 Get me through this Lord and I'll devote my life to you
 Things look pretty bleak right now but I know you'll come through
 I've squandered my good fortune and my other fortune too
 Get me through this Lord and I'll devote my life to you
 I cannot change my past mistakes
 I've led a life devoid of virtue
 Either way the man I am
 Is dead and gone although I know the past
 Can come around and hurt you
 Get me through this lord and I will never drink again
 I'll pore over my Bible and I'll pour out all my gin
 I'll prove to you a sinning man can turn his back on sin
 Give me some fresh water Lord I'll never drink again
 Here's to the Halcyon, forever may she rest
 At the bottom of the ocean, for the good Lord knows best
 You made her from lumber and you gave her to the sea
 Now good Lord what do you propose to do with me?
 Here's to the Halcyon, forever may she rest
 At the bottom of the ocean, for the good Lord knows best
 You made her from lumber and you gave her to the sea
 Now good Lord what do you propose to do with me?
 Good Lord what do you propose to do with me?
