| Saw your first ship sink and drown,From rockin' of the bot,
 And all that could not sink or swim
 Was just left there to float.
 I won't leave you drifting down,
 But whoa it makes me wild,
 With thirty years upon my head
 To have you call me child.
 
 Ship of fools on a cruel sea,
 Ship of fools sail away from me.
 It was later than I thought when I first believed you,
 Now I cannot share your laughter, ship of fools.
 
 The bot....tles stand as empty,
 As they were filled before.
 Time there was and plenty,
 But from that cup no more.
 Though I could not caution all,
 I still might warn a few:
 Don't lend your hand to raise no flag
 Atop no ship of fools.
