Down to the Devil You Go - Circus Contraption

Tossed in the seas in a furious wind

Where the sail is free and there begins

A tale of woe, and then a tale of fate

About a float when ships are late

Yo ho, yo ho

Down to the Devil you go

Yo ho, yo ho

Down to the briny deep

The boat was tossed in the turn tide

Hull split open on the starboard side

Not a soul was left, but the bloated hides

Found adrift on the open seas

Yo ho, yo ho

Down to the Devil you go

Yo ho, yo ho

Down to that final sleep

As the waves rushed in to claim their own

Lungs filled up with a salty foam

Well they prayed to Jesus, but he wasn’t home

He got hung up on calvary

Yo ho, yo ho

Down to the Devil you go

Yo ho, yo ho

Down to the posen’s keep

Where their widows mourn and their daughters grieve

And their sons set out on the morrow’s eve

For the ocean has tricks held in its sleeve

Enough for the filial few

Yo ho, yo ho

Down to the Devil you go

Yo ho, yo ho

Down to the briny deep

Yo ho, yo ho

Down to the Devil you go

Yo ho, yo ho

Down to the briny deep
