The Ocean Ranger

D G In the cold Canadian waters where there's danger, D A On the fifteenth day in a February gale, D G When the chilly waters claimed the Ocean Ranger, D A D Not one human ever lived to tell the tale. G For three long weeks on the Ocean minds, D Was the children made them valentines, A As they waited for their fathers D To return home from the cold. G Left their wives, their sons and daughters, D With their mothers and their fathers, A In the cold Canadian waters; G D Lord have mercy on their souls. D G From time to tide you understand a mother's feelings, D A Or the feeling of a father for his son; D G But those little children's hearts they must be bleeding, D A D When they're old enough to know their father's gone. G For three long weeks on the Ocean minds, D Was the children made them valentines, A As they waited for their fathers D To return home from the cold. G Left their wives, their sons and daughters, D With their mothers and their fathers, A In the cold Canadian waters; G D Lord have mercy on their souls. D G Heaven knows that on the battlefield there's danger, D A And there's danger for the men down in the mine; D G There was danger all around the Ocean Ranger, D A D And for those men who left their loved ones all behind. G For three long weeks on the Ocean minds, D Was the children made them valentines, A As they waited for their fathers D To return home from the cold. G Left their wives, their sons and daughters, D With their mothers and their fathers, A In the cold Canadian waters; G D Lord have mercy on their souls. Lord have mercy on their souls
