Lyrics:

(spoken : ) Full fathom five, on the seabed she lies, the Antoinette.
1. I sailed with the dawn and the wind blew free
'cross the bright shining sea,
and it filled the sails of my Antoinette.
Good-bye home and the one I love,
put my faith in the sky and the stars above,
‘cause there's nothing in this world I wouldn't bet
on my Antoinette !

2. She carries her name, and for you I'll try
to be strong or I'll die,

and I'll find my grave in the rolling waves.
Ride on baby, don't you let me down,
ocean's big and you don't wanna see me drown.
But a bitter rain begins to beat the deck of the Antoinette.
See the rain come lashing,
there's a sudden flash of lightning on the foam, hold on, Antoinette !
The ocean rounds in fury
on a man who fights against it all alone, keep on, Antoinette !
She goes down with a sigh and with her his last cry,
Antoinette !
3. Dawn breaks on the sea, and the long dark night
now gives way to the light,
and no trace remains of the Antoinette.
Deep she lies on the ocean floor,
far away from the girl who waits by the shore.
Does she know her love is buried in the wreck of the Antoinette?
Well, deep she lies, deep she lies,
Antoinette ! Antoinette !
