Original Song - Now The Winds Have Died

What did the desperate do? And what did happen, to the thirteen missing sailors? Answers on a postcard (or in the comments). LYRICS: We were fifteen strong when we left port, Sailing, oh sailing, Gone six months not an hour short, Sailing with the wind. But now we’re stranded far at sea, Sailing, no sailing, Water is flat and we’re far from lee, Now the wind has died, They’ve died, they’ve died, Now the winds have died, Larder’s empty we’re dry thirsty, Cry God or devil just set us free, (Set us free, set us free) Now the winds have died. Captain said we’ll set to oar, Rowing, oh rowing, Run out a line and a tow to shore, For we won’t need the wind, our backs take strain go to and fore, Rowing, oh rowing, A mile a day towards the shore, And men begin to die. They’ve died, they’ve died, Now the winds have died, Larder’s empty we’re dry thirsty,
